🍟CHIPS ARE IMPORTANT🍟
It’s now been over a year since microchipping became a legal requirement for owned cats over 20 weeks old in England. 📅
While progress has been made, most cats are still not microchipped, making reunions with owners harder and delaying help for every kind of animal in need. 😭
Since the law took effect on 10 June 2024, only 27% of cats arriving at our National RSPCA centres were chipped, up from 19% the previous year. 😢
It is VITAL to get your pet cats chipped, we also have a welfare assistance scheme to help with the cost of this to help owners get it done: https://www.rspca-lincoln.org.uk/welfare-assistance-voucher-scheme/
