📍 June is National Microchipping Month in the UK! 🐱🇬🇧
While this safety month is celebrated right across the UK, it’s the perfect time for an important legal reminder: compulsory cat microchipping is currently only the law in England! 🚨
The English mandate officially came into force back in 2024. If you want a quick refresher on the regulations or want to make sure you're fully compliant, head over to our website to read our blog post: https://www.thecatbutler.co.uk/cat-care-guides/microchipping-your-cat-the-deadline-has-arrived/ 📖✨
Even if you live outside of England where it isn't a legal requirement yet—or if your kitty is a strictly indoor lounge lizard—getting them chipped is still the single best way to ensure they find their way back to you if they ever go on an unexpected wander. 🏡❤️
📝 Your Quick Microchip Checklist:
Update Your Info: A chip is only as good as the data attached to it! If you’ve moved house, changed your phone number, or updated your email, make sure to log into your registry database and update your details. 📞
Request a Quick Scan: Next time you visit the vet, ask them to do a quick scan of your kitty's shoulders to ensure the chip is functioning perfectly and sitting exactly where it should be. 🩺
Peace of mind is truly priceless when it comes to protecting our furry family members! 🥰🐾
