Low-Cost Microchipping Events

Microchipping your pet is one of the best ways to ensure that if your pet becomes lost, he or she can be returned to you.

Most Mayor's Alliance/Maddie's Pet Adoption Festivals feature a low-cost microchipping clinic where you can have your dog(s) or cat(s) microchipped for only $25 each. Also, the Mayor's Alliance stages other low-cost microchipping clinics at other events throughout the year.

General Theological Seminary celebrates the life of St. Francis of Assisi, renowned for his love of animals, by offering a "Blessing of the Animals." The event also commemorates World Animal Day. All are welcome at our service — every animal, every human! The service will take place outdoors on the steps of our Chapel, weather permitting; in case of rain, the service will be moved indoors. Please remember to leash your dogs. Small animals, including fish, reptiles, and pets in travel cases are all welcome. The service will last about 20 minutes. City Critters will be present to provide pets for adoption, and the Mayor's Alliance for NYC's Animals will be providing low-cost ($25, includes registration) microchipping services.
