The new law will affect all cat owners in England and will come into force from June. It will be a legal requirement for cats to be microchipped from then onwards
All cats must be microchipped by June 10
Cat owners be aware of this new rule otherwise you could get hit with a big £500 fine.
Your furry friend needs to be microchipped with your latest contact info before they turn 20 weeks old to help keep them safe. The law comes into force on June 10 this year. If you don’t chip your cat by then, you’ll have 21 days to get it done or you’ll have to pay up.
This new rule will help lost or stolen cats find their way back home.
