Starting from August next year, if you own a cat, you will need to register it as a pet. This means that you can help your cat get a microchip for registration. Those who fail to do so may be fined up to RMB 15,000!
This is a matter of interest to the lovely cats, so don’t ignore it.
In response to the sharp increase in the number of cats, the Ministry of Agriculture recently announced an amendment to the draft "Designating Dogs as Pets that Should be Registered", clarifying that from August 1, 2025, domestic cats also need to be registered as pets. If they are not registered in accordance with the law, The fines range from NT$3,000 to NT$15,000, and there is a one-year buffer period between now and the official implementation next year.
In order to cope with the increasing number of domestic cats, the Ministry of Agriculture conducted statistics on the number of dogs and cats raised in 2023. The number of cats increased significantly by 50 % compared with previous years.
They are almost on par with dogs, so the regulations have been revised to include domestic cats in the regulations, and they must also be fully registered compared to domestic dogs.
Generally speaking, it is not bad to have a registration book. If the cat has a microchip and the microchip registration is correct, the owner will not give up the cat easily.
After all, if you are caught maliciously abandoning an animal, according to Article 5, Paragraph 3 of the Animal Protection Act, those who illegally abandon an animal will be fined not less than NT$30,000, but not more than NT$150,000 with a suspended fine.
As for the cost of microchip implantation, I currently live in Taipei City as an example. When applying for new pet registration at various pet registration stations, regardless of whether the dog or cat is sterilized or not, you only need to pay a microchip implantation fee of NT$250, and no other registration fees will be charged. .
So for the sake of the rights of cats, remember to inform the shit collectors around you and remember to register!
