Jacqui Cuff, speaking in the local community paper The Week In represents the Cats Protection League, the largest charity working with cats and kittens and of course, their owners in the UK. The Cats Protection League Is spearheading a campaign to persuade Member of Parliament to pass legislation making microchipping of domestic cats compulsory. And they invite the many LGBTQ people who love cats to join in. Jacquie explains that having your cat chipped can avoid heartache in the event that it is lost or missing. Even if it dies away from home, a chipped cat can be returned it its rightful owners for an appropriate send off. She goes on: “Making microchipping compulsory will significantly drive up numbers of microchipped owned cats. Microchipping was made compulsory for dogs in 2016 and as a result 92% are chipped.”. If you want to get involved further, contact the Cats Protection League on the web, where you will find an easy guide to how to get involved in the microchipping campaign and also an online shop, which is packed with toys for the cat and beautiful gifts for the cat lover in your life, including stationery cards and niknaks. We should recognize that some cat owners are elderly and perhaps not on the internet – that’s fine, you can contact the charity at 03000 12 12 12.
