As a small independent rescue, we have seen a surge in injured, unneutered, and not microchipped cats coming into our care. Reports of lost cats who are not microchipped by owners and the increase in stray and feral cats within our community are alarming. The lack of microchipping makes tracing their owners nearly impossible, causing distress for both the animals and those trying to help them.

Microchipping is a simple procedure that significantly increases the chances of reuniting lost pets with their families. Additionally, neutering helps control the cat population, unwanted litters, reduces health risks and reduces cats getting lost.

We urge lawmakers to require all cats in Wales to be microchipped and provide access to low-cost neutering services. This will ensure better welfare for our feline friends and reduce the number of strays on our streets.

Please sign this petition to support mandatory microchipping and affordable neutering for all cats in Wales!
