Singapore mandates microchipping and licensing for over 24,000 pet cats to improve welfare and traceability.

Since September 2024, over 24,000 pet cats in Singapore have been microchipped and licensed under a new Cat Management Framework. The framework aims to enhance cat welfare and traceability, with 97% of the cats also being sterilized. Owners have until August 31, 2026, to comply, though authorities encourage earlier action. The licensing is free during the transition and costs $15 for sterilized cats and $90 for unsterilized ones afterward.
