From 10 June 2024, cats in England will need to be microchipped and registered on a database by the time they’re 20 weeks old. This has been a legal requirement for dogs in the UK since 2016.
The story below illustrates the importance of getting you pet microchipped and making sure the associated phone and address details are always up to date.

If you or someone you know needs financial assistance for microchipping, neutering or vet bills please get in touch. Our contact details are on this site.
