After seeing articles about this I checked my cat’s microchip on www.aaha.org no registration info comes back. Savethislife was a major pet registry in the US.

All you need is the serial # and you can register the chip yourself. That way if someone does run the #, your info will show up too. If you don’t have the #, any vet should be able to scan them and give it to you. Or you can buy your own scanner fairly cheap. I bought a $20 ebay one to scan animals that wander up to my work/home.
I don’t know what companies are reputable, but the article lists AKC Reunite, PetLink, and 24PetWatch.
I have already done it and sense my dog was chipped before I got her, there’s no. way to change it, I have her number and it’s one of the popular ones but regardless of what I do. On there website it won’t work and I contacted them several several times last couple years and no response on anything.
I hate these companies so much tbh
