THE TRUTH ABOUT DECLAWING

DECLAWING IS NOT MEDICALLY NECESSARY.

People often believe declawing is a harmless “quick fix” to prevent damage resulting from scratching. In reality, it may permanently harm your cat’s health and well-being.

DECLAWING CAN LEAD TO SERIOUS COMPLICATIONS.

Long-term complications include:

  • Refusal to use the litter box
  • Biting
  • Physical issues

DECLAWING HURTS

If performed on a human being, declawing would be like cutting off each finger at the last knuckle. The procedure is painful and can leave physical and emotional scars.

DECLAWING IS SOMETIMES ILLEGAL

Declawing is illegal in several California cities, including San Francisco & Los Angeles. Many more veterinarians refuse to perform the surgery.
