Scottish Parliament Written Question
S6W-26556
Friday 19th April 2024

Asked by: Golden, Maurice (Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party - North East Scotland)

Question

To ask the Scottish Government what its position is on the compulsory microchipping of pet cats.

Answered by Fairlie, Jim

The Scottish Government’s Code of Practice for the Welfare of Cats recommends that all cat owners should consider neutering and microchipping their pets as the best way of being reunited with their rightful owners, should they be separated.

The Scottish Animal Welfare Commission’s (SAWC) Responsible Cat Ownership Working Group is currently considering responsible cat ownership including microchipping and we will carefully consider the SAWC’s report and its recommendations once published before taking further action.
