Have you tried a holistic/alternative vet? Or AC's? You would be surprised what a cat will tell an AC it trusts. There are volunteer groups (they tell me) on the internet. Dixie has been able to tell me that she was spayed and certainly didn't need spaying again, even if the vets couldn't fi

Hi Tad, I agree, rescuing a declawed shelter cat is the perfect solution for those that "must" have a declawed cat. Unfortunately, I haven't had much luck suggesting this to people yet, (even when I tell them how much money they can save) as they all seem to want itty-bitty kittens. In my case,

Hi Phaewryn, I know that we will probably have to agree to disagree on this, but if I take your opinion to it's logical conclusion, then all declawed cats that end up in a shelter should automatically be euthanized to end their suffering? Like you, I am not a knee-jerk no-kill ever person. Like
