Protect Your Cat with Maven Vets

Cat microchipping provides peace of mind for cat owners, ensuring your pet can always find their way back to you. Losing a cat, whether due to an accident or wandering off, is one of the greatest fears for any owner.

Microchipping is a permanent identification method involving a tiny chip, about the size of a grain of rice, implanted under your cat’s skin. This chip contains vital information that stays with your cat for their lifetime. If your missing cat is found, a microchip significantly increases the chances of being reunited.

New Legal Requirements for Cat Microchipping

As of June 10, 2024, it is mandatory in England for all cats over 20 weeks old to be microchipped. This legislation, announced on March 13, 2024, aims to improve pet safety and reunification rates. Cat owners who fail to comply may face fines of up to £500.

Each microchip has a unique identification number, easily read by a portable scanner available to vets, local authorities, and rescue organisations. Once scanned, the number connects to a central database containing your contact information, allowing for a quick reunion with your cat.

Why Cat Microchipping is Important

Cats are naturally curious and independent, often wandering far from home. This can make losing a cat even more stressful for owners. Collars and tags, while helpful, are not foolproof—they can break, fall off, or be removed. Microchipping offers a permanent and reliable alternative.

A microchip cannot be lost or damaged and contains a unique number linked to your contact details in a national database. Vets, local councils, and rescue centres can scan this chip, ensuring that your contact information is accessible when your cat is found.
