Cats Matter 

Publication date: 
Tuesday 2 January 2024
Request: 

We wanted to firstly know if you are currently scanning deceased cats found by the roadside and, if not, is this something we can work with the council to obtain a satisfactory result for residents. 
Secondly, we understand that some local authorities offer a microchipping service for dogs. We are also aware that dog wardens have, in some areas, extended this service to cats too. Given the upcoming legislation, is this a service the council would be willing to looking into offering, if it is not something you currently do, and/or extending the service to cats? 
 

Response: 

Thurrock Council do scan cats that we find, however, there is no microchipping scheme offered by the Council.
