Three million cats are not currently microchipped
Millions of cat owners across the UK have been warned they will risk fines of up to £500 if they don't follow a new rule that comes into force in just over nine months.
Once the new law comes into force, owners found without their cat microchipped will have just 21 days to have one implanted. After the 21 days, owners may then face a fine of up to £500.The chips are implanted under your cat’s skin between the shoulder blades, in a quick procedure that takes just a few seconds. A single microchip should last for your cat’s lifetime, so there’s no need to think about it again once it’s done.
PDSA Vet, Lynne James previously told the ECHO: “Microchipping is a one off cost, which provides a lifetime of security for pet owners. We strongly recommend all cats are microchipped before they start going outside. Even if your cat prefers the indoor life, microchipping provides an extra safety net, should they manage to escape and become lost.”
