Completed petition Introduce the Mandatory Microchipping of Cats in Wales

Our previous petition and campaigning on this issue saw the Welsh Government commit to consider mandatory microchipping in it's published Animal Welfare Plan for
Wales 2021-26. This has not happened.

Microchipping is part of responsible pet ownership and has
countless benefits for both cat and owner. If a persons cat Becomes lost, stolen or gets injured, a microchip is the best chance for reunification, and microchips ease strain on rescue centres.
