A charity has warned that three million cats are not yet microchipped
Cat owners in England have been given a three-month warning to microchip their pets or they could be fined £500. The charity Cats Matter has said that from June 10, 2024, it will be against the law for cat owners not to have their pets microchipped.
"The process of microchipping involves the quick, simply and painless insertion of a chip, generally around the size of a grain of rice, under the skin. The microchip has a unique serial number that the keeper needs to register on a database. When a cat is found, the microchip can be read with a scanner and the registered keeper identified on a database so the pet can quickly be reunited with them.
