From today, 10 June, it is now law for your cat to be microchipped.
The new rules mean cats must be chipped before they reach 20 weeks old, and their contact details must be stored and kept up to date in a pet microchipping database.
All owners must have their cat microchipped by today, and owners found not to have microchipped their cat will have 21 days to do so, or they could face a fine of up to £500.

Your vet will be able to advise you on microchipping.
Together we can end animal suffering in south Bucks.
