5. Amendments to Cabinet Regulation No 359 of 21 June 2022 on the procedure for the registration of pet animals

6. Exceptions where microchip marking and registration of cats in the database of the register of domestic (pet) animals are not mandatory

7.

8. It is the duty of the owner or keeper of animals to ensure that cats and domestic ferrets are marked with a microchip in accordance with the procedures stipulated by the Cabinet, that they have a pet passport, and that they are registered in the database of the register of domestic (pet) animals, except in cases where the Cabinet has determined that the provision of the aforementioned requirements is not mandatory. The draft regulation has been prepared to determine which categories of cats and domestic ferrets do not need to be marked with a chip and registered in the database.

9. It is important to register cats and ferrets in the database, as they have a relatively higher risk of wandering and remaining without the care of the owner or keeper, and thus entering an animal shelter. On the other hand, for a stray animal marked with a microchip and registered in a database, it is possible to find its owner by reading the microchip number and retrieving the contact details of the animal's owner from the database, in order to return the animal home as soon as possible. Since, in accordance with the laws and regulations in force, the local government organises the catching of stray or helpless animals, as well as establishes and maintains animal shelters, the expenditure of local governments will also decrease as the number of animals entering the shelters or the period of stay of the animal in the shelter decreases. On the other hand, it is essential to mark animals that are bred and whose offspring are transferred with a microchip and register them in a database to ensure both the traceability of their origin and the monitoring and control of animal welfare, for example, to monitor whether the number of litters or the age at which offspring are alienated complies with the welfare requirements laid down in legislation.
