Make sure your cat’s wearing her collar with identification at all times. She should also be microchipped and registered in Dogs And Cats Online (that’s the law). Councils, shelters and vets can scan dogs and cats for microchips to find owners in Dogs and Cats Online, so it pays to be microchipped and registered.
