The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs today issued an update to cat owners as new laws demanding all pets are microchipped come in. DEFRA said that from today, June 10, people should be in the position where their cat has been registered.
There are over 9 million pet cats in England, and the technology is already compulsory for dogs and is proven to be the most effective method for identifying lost pets, with microchipped dogs more than twice as likely to be reunited with their owner. Officials say microchips are safe and easy to implant with an average cost of around £25 for microchipping and registration and advised that charities and reputable cat rescue organisations may be able to microchip your cat for a reduced rate.
