Please spare cat & kittens paws. It alters their being. No one knows if the adopted people will dump them which assures their death with no way to protect themselves

Declawing as a routine procedure (or at all!) is unacceptable! Please stop this unnecessary mutilation at once!

Declawing is institutionalized animal cruelty that disables a cat for it's entire life and can cause lifelong pain.

Don't be barbarians! Amputation is mutilation, no matter what you call it. Be kind to the cats and kittens entrusted to your care.

Please stop mutilating kittens and cats. It is an inhumane practice that is illegal in many countries and causes life long problems for the cat.

Please stop the cruelty! 100% OF DECLAWED CATS WILL SHOW SIGNS OF PAIN IN DAYS, MONTHS OR YEARS
Lameness (note that if both paws hurt, the cat will not limp)
Holding up one paw or shifting weight from side to side
Grimacing (squinted eyes, whiskers pulled back close to the head)
Shifting weight backward away from the toes
Dropped carpus (hyperflexion of the wrist resulting from weight shift)
Sitting so that the toes overhang the edge of the seat
Walking gingerly, as if on nails or glass
Reluctance to have feet handled
Decreased activity
Decreased appetite
Increased aggression

Dogs are never declawed and they can destroy things just as cats can. Offer education, not mutilation if you truly care about animals.

Declawing is cruel, inhumane and unnecessary, anyone not prepared to adopt a clawed cat is not a fit caretaker and should be refused, declawing is banned in around 40 countries of the world, educate yourselves and stop this barbaric practice!

Stop this cruel mutilation of cats for the convenience of those people who are not fit to adopt a cat if they don't like that they come with claws!

I got a cat that been declawed ( toe amputated) She licking , flicker her paws when swelling in cold weather and after playing. I think the tingling in her joints cause human has their limps cut off and they feel numbness, eleotric pain, tingling in the area. It be the same for all mammals . Animals are more alike then different. Dogas , kids, and other human damage furniture, carpet, and scratch then bite. Cats can still bite and scratch after declawing . So we are just making blood money over suffering of 4,000 cats a years who is put down cause what mother nature gave to them. Stupid , stupid . If you don't want to be patient to learn a at to scratch on a post or get soft caps . People don't need a pet at all.

To put it in a human perspective, declawing would be the human equivalent of cutting off one’s fingers at the first knuckle. Can you imagine the dextral difficulties you would encounter if you lacked the first joint of your fingers?
