"Register with the District Office to Keep a Cat"

Daejeon City Launches Pilot Animal Registration Project... Second After Companion Dogs

[Asia Economy (Daejeon) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] Daejeon City announced on the 8th that it will launch a "Cat Animal Registration Pilot Project" starting from the 11th of this month.

This expands the scope of animal registration, which had previously applied only to companion dogs, to include cats. However, while animal registration is mandatory for companion dogs, it will be conducted on a voluntary basis for cats as a pilot program.

Cat animal registration involves implanting a radio-frequency identification (RFID) device inside the cat, which has the advantage of helping to locate lost cats.

Cat owners who wish to register their cats can visit an animal registration agency with their cat. The fee for implanting the RFID device is 10,000 KRW.

Animal registration agencies can be confirmed by contacting the animal protection department of each district office or through the Animal Protection Management System.

Meanwhile, the pilot project is only being conducted in metropolitan cities, special cities, cities with populations over 500,000, and some local governments that have applied nationwide.
