England mandates cat microchipping by June 10th, with fines for non-compliance up to £500.
England will require cat owners to microchip their pets by June 10, with fines up to £500 for those who do not comply. Cats must be implanted with a microchip before 20 weeks old, and owners' contact details can be stored in a microchipping database for easier tracking of lost or stray cats. The government estimates that 2.3 million of the 9 million pet cats in England are currently unchipped.
