Cats
- Question
-
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what steps they are taking to promote the benefits of microchipping cats as a safe and permanent method of identification.
- Answer
-
The Government recommends identifying cats with a microchip and keeping the relevant records up to date. To do so will increase the chances of re-uniting a displaced cat with its owner and it receiving any necessary veterinary treatment, if it is injured. The statutory Code of Practice for the Welfare of Cats, made under the Animal Welfare Act 2006, contains advice about identifying cats, including by use of a microchip.
