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.]
