Have your cat, rabbit or ferret microchipped for free on 12 April
Residents of the municipalities of Eindhoven, Nuenen, Bladel and Geldrop-Mierlo can have their cat, rabbit or ferret microchipped for free on Sunday 12 April at Dierenasiel ROZE in Eindhoven.
A microchip greatly increases the chances of a lost pet being quickly reunited with its owner. Every year, many cats and rabbits end up at the shelter without a chip, making it difficult to trace their owners.
The free microchipping day is intended for unchipped cats, rabbits and ferrets from the four participating municipalities. Even indoor cats and rabbits should be microchipped, as they can unexpectedly get outside.
First make an appointment. Please note: first come, first served. If your pet has a vaccination booklet, please bring it along. On the day, only microchipping will be carried out; there will be no medical check-up.
