/ We will NOT 4-PAW DECLAW (a cat can’t even scratch an itch with no
claws!) this cat and will trim nails and provide adequate scratching
posts. Scratching is a natural cat behavior and declawing is an
amputation of healthy bone, tissue and tendon, and can have lasting
physical, behavioral and emotional consequences. We will research
alternatives, such as soft paws, prior to surgery if we ultimately do
front-paw declaw (laser surgery only). More info: www.de-clawing.com.
