Some Charities
will give your Cat a Free Chip. From Today. [All cats in England must be microchipped and registered on a database from Monday under new laws. The new legislation applies to all cats aged 20 weeks and older, including indoor cats. The RSPCA said that one in 10 cats going into their centres were still not microchipped, despite the incoming law change. Pet owners found breaking the rules face a £500 fine if they do not comply within 21 days. Data from a Cats Protection survey suggested about 1.9 million cats in England were not microchipped. The charity said owners of about 300,000 cats were not sure if they were microchipped or not. Microchipping involves a small chip being "quickly and simply" inserted under the animal's skin to give the pet its own unique code. The chip can then be scanned and matched to the owner's contact details that are kept on a database.] https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c7221y677nqo |

How is this going to be enforced ?
The police are over stretched as it is , can’t see them carrying a scanner for random moggy tests . Then if someone scans a cat how do they trace the owner ? Soooo many questions Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Last edited by Zizu; 10-06-2024 at 08:10 AM. |

They can return the Cat Police do not scan the cat. Vets do. The Cat can be put down - if no one collects it Last edited by arista; 10-06-2024 at 07:58 AM. |

This will create bad blood between vets and the clients they fleece mercilessly at every given opportunity
Can’t see anyone having to pay the actual fine tbh At worst the vets will have a serious ‘word’ … and try and persuade the owner to have the cat chipped |

There's no excuse any caring pet owner would not chip their pets. My cat once went missing for 6 weeks and we ended up getting him back because a lovely couple (6 miles away) took him to the vets to be scanned. Chances are we'd never have got him back otherwise.

So if your cat isn't chipped and it runs away, how will the owner be found?

My cats are chipped and sadly recently one was hit by a car. Someone picked him up and took him to be scanned so I thankfully was aware what happened. If he had not been chipped I may never have known what happened to him.
Not sure how enforceable it will be but hopefully the possibility of a fine will encourage people to have it done
