New regulations in England require all pet cats to be microchipped by June 10, 2024, to aid in their identification and return if lost or stolen. Organizations like Cats Protection and Battersea are encouraging owners to ensure their cats are chipped and information is updated. The move follows a 15% decrease in bike thefts in Leeds after owners were advised to mark their cycles. Tightened microchipping rules for dogs and cats offer hope to lost pet owners and aim to combat pet theft.
