Despite the best of care, animals can become ill and require extensive medical attention. Are you willing to provide the necessary treatment despite the fact that it could be very costly?*
Declawing a cat involves the amputation of the last bone of each toe on a cat’s paw, similar to cutting off a finger at the last knuckle. The typical method uses a scalpel or guillotine clipper, with wounds closed using stitches or surgical glue, and the feet bandaged.
Declawing can result in paw pain, back pain, infections, tissue necrosis (tissue death), and lameness. It alters the way a cat's feet interact with the ground, which can cause discomfort akin to wearing ill-fitting shoes. If claws are improperly removed, they may regrow, leading to nerve damage and bone spurs.
Declawing is banned or considered unethical in dozens of countries around the world. In the U.S., New York, Maryland, the District of Columbia and more than a dozen cities have banned declawing.
Do you agree to never declaw a cat and seek alternatives such as nail tips, trimming nails regularly, keeping scratching posts around the house?
