The RSPCA is seeking information about a middle-aged black and white cat named Clint, who was found bleeding and with a serious untreated flea allergy. The cat, who has gum disease and a suspected respiratory infection, was collected by an inspector and taken for treatment. The charity believes Clint may have been abandoned or kept in unsanitary conditions, and is asking for anyone with information to come forward. The cat will be rehomed if no owner comes forward. The RSPCA is also urging pet owners struggling in the current financial climate to seek help before their pet’s health deteriorates.

The countdown has begun for compulsory cat microchipping in England, with fines of up to £500 from June 2024 for owners who fail to comply. The RSPCA has issued an urgent reminder to pet owners, revealing that almost half of adults in England are unaware of the new law. Microchipping is an essential component of responsible pet ownership, allowing lost cats to be easily identified and reunited with their owners. The RSPCA is hopeful that the new law will help to tackle other common welfare issues for cats, such as abandonment. While microchipping in England will not be compulsory for unowned or feral cats, the charity is hopeful that the Welsh government will introduce similar legislation for cats in Wales.

Cats Protection is calling on Welsh pet lovers to support their campaign for compulsory microchipping of pet cats. While it’s now a law in England, there are still no plans for it to be introduced in Wales. Cats Protection says it would make a huge difference to cat welfare and is urging people to use an online form on their website to contact their MS to ask for their support. Microchipping would ensure more cats can be reunited with their owners if they are lost or missing and reduce the pressure on animal charities.

Untreated dental disease in pets can be costly, with some owners paying upwards of £962* in vet bills, according to new data from Co-op Insurance. The data shows that dental issues are one of the top 10 reasons pet owners take their animals to the vet, with some popular breeds, such as Labradors and Cocker Spaniels, particularly susceptible. To avoid costly vet visits, Co-op recommends incorporating dental chews into pets’ daily routines and consulting a vet about the best toothbrush and toothpaste options. Co-op pet insurance covers dental care as standard.
