Fishers requires every dog and cat owned in the city to carry permanent identification at all times, by microchip or a durable collar tag showing the owner's name and phone number, so lost pets can be quickly reunited with owners. The rule applies to animals three months and older.
Cats are addressed mainly at the city level in Hamilton County. Fishers Section 91.04 requires each dog or cat to bear a permanent means of identification at all times, in addition to any state-required tags, so a lost or stolen animal's owner can be found quickly. Acceptable identification is either an implanted microchip or a permanent tag on a durable collar with the owner's current name and telephone number, and the requirement applies to animals at least three months old. Other cities set their own licensing and at-large rules for cats.
Owning an unidentified dog or cat violates the ordinance and is subject to city code enforcement; impounded animals without ID are harder to reclaim.
