🐾 Don’t Wait—Neuter Early & Shop Around for Appointments 🐾

Some vet practices still advise waiting until 6 months or more before neutering cats. But cats can become pregnant as early as 4 months, and males may start spraying or roaming by then. Delaying neutering increases the risk of unplanned litters and unwanted behaviours.

✅ What You Can Do:

Neuter from 4 months: This is the recommendation from Cats Protection and the RSPCA.

No appointments soon? Ring around: If your vet has a long wait, call others nearby. Many clinics and charities offer quicker slots and may be more affordable.

Microchip at the same time: Since June 2024, it's a legal requirement in England to microchip cats by 20 weeks of age. Not complying could result in a £500 fine .

💡 Why It Matters:

Early neutering prevents unwanted litters and reduces the number of cats needing rescue.

It helps prevent spraying, roaming, and certain cancers and diseases being spread amongst cats.

Microchipping ensures your cat can be returned to you if lost.

Let’s keep our cats healthy and reduce the number of unwanted kittens needing rescue spaces.

Compulsory microchipping for dogs has been law since 2016 yet despite the number of canines found without ID, few people ultimately face prosecution.

With thanks to CatsMatter and Cats Protection ❤️

Animals lost and found in Kent have been campaigning for around 6 years for the rules on microchips to be brought in line with the rules for dogs.

A Kent-based animal charity which came up with the idea behind new cat microchipping laws say it will make a huge difference to pet owners.

New cat microchipping law starts tomorrow 10/6/2024. We are so grateful to have been able to start this law with our local mp Rehman Chishti 🫶 we know it's hard to govern and there will still be those that don't do it. However, it will help as much as it's helped the dogs when the law was passed about microchipping them. We have seen a dramatic fall in dogs that aren't chipped, so more get home ❤️

Thank you all for supporting the work we do!
