Chachi the cat went missing from his home in Salem in March of this year. His family searched for him and posted fliers around the neighborhood, but they were unable to find him. Somehow, Chachi found his way to Gresham where a good samaritan found him and brought him to the MCAS shelter. Fortunately, Chachi was implanted with a microchip when he was adopted because his family would never have thought to search for him so far from home. It was through the microchip company that MCAS was able to locate Chachi's family. It just goes to show... Microchips work!
