It brings cats into line with the rules already in place for dogs since 2016.
All pet cats must be microchipped from this summer If you have a cat, you have three months to make sure you’re up to date with new laws. From June, all pet cats must be microchipped – or their owners could be hit with a £500 fine. It brings cats into line with the rules already in place for dogs since 2016, and makes it possible to easily reunite pets with their owners if they go missing.
Lost pets are much more likely to get back home if they are microchipped Owners will have until they are 20 weeks old to get it sorted out, with the procedure usually costing around £10 or £20 at the vet. There are over 11 million pet cats in England, according to Mayhew animal welfare charity who pushed for the change in the law. Of those, there are at least 2.3 million without a microchip, meaning they are at risk of getting lost and not being reunited with their owners.
