A new law will mean cat owners could be fined up to £500 if their cats aren't microchipped.
New rules introduced in Parliament this week mean that from June 2024 all cats throughout the country must be microchipped before the age of 20 weeks. Cat owners have until Monday, June 10 of next year to get their pets microchipped.
From that date, any owners who are found to have failed to microchip their cat will have 21 one days to get one implanted, or they could face a fine of up to £500.
