Is there anyway to neutralize the microchip or remove it so that it doesn't attached to my name/address info anymore. How can I get this done?

There is no reason to remove the chip. It isn't hurting anything. The only information stored on the chip is the name of the company that manufactured the chip and the microchip number. To get any information, whomever scans the chip has to call the company. Just call the company where your information is registered and tell them you are no longer going to be owning that cat. Then give the new owners the microchip number and company name and they can register the cat if they wish.
It sounds like you want your privacy but I would also think about the wellbeing of the cat. What if the cat gets out and the new owners haven't updated the info? I would remove my personal information from the company but make sure they had the name of the veterinarian that you used to treat that cat. They will have your cat's microchip information in their system. If the cat should be found, it will be traced back to your vet who can contact you to see what you want to do about the cat. Then you can contact the new owners or take possession of the cat and then contact the new owners and find out what happened and if you want to give the cat back or not.
Everyone has their own views but animals can't speak for themselves. When we are given the responsibility of animal ownership, I believe that is a life long commitment, even if you must give the animal up. I believe it should be treated like an open baby adoption. You still get scheduled updates on the cat .Some might think of this as an invation of privacy for the new owner. I would too if they wanted updates more than twice a year. But I would also respect the level of concern they are showing for the animal and that would make me believe that I was getting an animal that was well cared for.
Sorry I made such a great big circle around such a small topic but I think first in terms of the best interest of the animal and second in terms of the best interest of any owners.

Contact the microchip company and explain that you are giving your cat to new owners. They will change the information in their system. Your vet will also remove it if that's what you want. Don't do it yourself.

All you need to do is update the data with the central agency, and with your vet. This happens all the time, so it's not something that will take very long to fix in the records.

You need to contact the company that has the register for your cat's micro-chip, or give the new owner the info or both so that it can be re-registered.

Take your cat to the vet and he or she should help you out with.but what ever you do do not try to remove it yourself you will harm your kitty.
