Meet Elwood — a 14-year-old tabby with a title and a job. As the beloved “Security Cat” at Epworth Hospital in Australia, Elwood has been patrolling hospital grounds with purr-sonality since 2018. But in June 2025, he vanished.

What followed was a whirlwind: missing posters, viral posts, and a shocking twist — Elwood had been stolen and sold online. Misidentified as a young female cat, he might’ve never made it home... if not for one tiny miracle: a microchip.

Thanks to a routine vet visit and a quick scan, Elwood’s true identity was revealed. Within hours, he was safely home — badge, dignity, and job intact.

His story is a powerful reminder: a microchip isn’t just a backup plan. It’s a lifeline.
