Hi everyone!
So I live in Austria and adopted a cat last year. I got him through a rescue from Slovakia and he came vaccinated, chipped, and with a Slovakian and European passport. They said the chip number is linked to the passport, without much of an explanation.
When I asked my vet at the first visit with my cat, they say we can change the name inside the passport and sign but that's it we can't change the chip. Other stuff came up so it slipped my mind but now I was thinking about it again and I found that, of course since I didn't do anything about it, he is still registered with his old owner from the rescue in Slovakia. I found him on Petmaxx, an international database.
I'm not sure how to proceed now because when I was still in France and adopted a cat there, the rescue took care of the papers, they did the owner change and I received a card at home with my cat's name, description, her chip ID, name and address. It's like a mini ID.
Now I can't find an Austrian database, I can't modify it on Petmaxx ofc but I could technically register him on other databases I found. But do you know if any is better than another one? There are so many and I don't even know if it will work since he is already registered with an owner.
