Compulsory Cat Microchipping

From the 13th March 2023 new legislation on compulsory cat microchipping was introduced, making it easier for lost or stray pet cats to be reunited with their owners and returned home safely.

The new rules mean cats must be implanted with a microchip before they reach the age of 20 weeks and their contact details stored and kept up to date in a pet microchipping database. All owners must have their cat microchipped by 10 June 2024 and owners found not to have microchipped their cat will have 21 days to have one implanted, or may face a fine of up to £500.

Please contact us to organise an appointment to have your cat microchipped.
