Or those cats that are just brought into vets to be "routinely" euthanized for inappropriate urination?? My 2 Maine Coon boys each were brought in, on 2 separate occasions, 2 different owners, within one month of each other to be euthanized.... Peeing outside of box. Year+ later, they are both doing fine.... Too damn big to be declawed.......Each over 25 lbs.!!  Whatever were these people thinking?? Anyway, since you're volunteering there, maybe you can "talk" to this vet about how inhumane declawing is..... You know, it is illegal in Europe, and even California is talking about "outlawing" it. It should be illegal. It's just cruelty, plain & simple. And, Sherry, I know you are against it, I'm just having one of my rants.... Patti
