I know it can cause litterbox problems and could change their personalities.I also know that she doesn't declaw after a certain age too.I think it should be outlawed too.But I can't just start telling her what's right and whats wrong.She knows what the outcome from the declawing could be.I will have to ask her why she declaws them all,but I believe it is like I said,it makes them more adoptable.(sad as that may be)I hate the claws too,but my first day with Rafferty I was clipping his nails.not all cats will let you do this.My Maizee was a beast when it came to it.Sorry that you all feel so angry about this issue,but I do still believe in her cause.

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
