Cairns Regional Council is offering free microchipping for cats and dogs for four days in late April.
Beginning on Monday, April 28, the sessions are a great opportunity to ensure your furry friends are protected.
Microchipping is permanent and means your pet is identifiable, allowing them to be traced to you in the event they go missing.
The microchip contains a number linked to your contact information, allowing shelters, vet or council to easily contact you if your pet is found.
The sessions will take place at the Animal Care and Education Centre, located at 55 Links Drive, Woree.
Session times are below:
- Monday 28 April from 1pm to 4pm
- Tuesday 29 April from 1pm to 4pm
- Wednesday 30 April from 9am to midday
- Friday 2 May from 9am to 4pm.
Council recommend pre-registering your pet and completing the Global Microchip Registry Form in advance to help streamline your appointment.
