Microchips Reunite

Let's make microchipping compulsory for pet cats across the UK

After years of campaigning by Cats Protection, compulsory pet cat microchipping is finally coming into force in England in June 2024.

Cats Protection is calling for it to be introduced across the rest of the UK.

Sign our petition by filling in your details and call on all UK Governments to act.

 

Microchipping gives a lost cat the best chance of being reunited with its owner. Cats Protection is calling for the compulsory microchipping of owned cats across the UK.

Across the UK over a quarter of owned cats are not microchipped1. Cats are independent and curious creatures – part of the reason we love them. But this means that they can end up lost, perhaps far from home.

Microchipping is a safe and permanent way to identify a cat and the best way of ensuring lost cats are returned to their loving families.

Please help make sure more cats are microchipped and reduce the numbers of unidentified stray cats.

Sign our petition now calling for compulsory microchipping of owned cats in the UK and help reunite more lost cats.
