Oh thatâs already occuring âŚdo they not check addresses? because that will be fun.
(So far one to my po box under maiden name, one to our house under married, one to his lordshipâs work⌠and we have friends who are literally settling on a new houseâŚ)

Does it need to be refrigerated? I could try to order some and post it on if you have a PO box

Nah its just a blood glucose monitor stickon. I would be very grateful, their discount âtrialâ is $15. Our local chemist has $125 (pets dont get NDIS).
You donât want to know what the AEC charged.

Oh I just thought of something else. This is assuming that itâs a stick-on device and nothing implanted internally - but if itâs undamaged, itâs just come off and is no longer sticking - maybe in an emergency you might be able to reattach it with some non-latex false eyelash adhesive. $200 is a lot of money per pop.
If you apply it very thinly and let it slightly dry to tackiness it might even peel off somewhat cleanly afterwards (never tried it on shaved fur).
Even a bandaid? Adhesive skin tape would probably be far too aggressive as cats skin is thin and fragile.
Places like Vet Shed online have non-adhesive bandages of material that sticks to itself only, to hold it in place. (Maybe diagonal going under one front leg to over the other shoulder if a figure 8 would put pressure on her neck.)

So itâs a one off? Yeah Iâll see how I go, if they let me have multiple to the same address (and whether they get pinched đŹ)

Oh well done! I donât think they do check addresses, I work in community health and weâve all signed up over the years for our human clients.
