Declawing Statement

Declawing is the amputation (de-knuckling) of the bone which grows and supports the cat's claw.
It is our belief this is not in the best interest of the kitten/cat and does not support their health and wellbeing.
This surgical procedure has physical and emotional consequences often resulting in:Paw Project raised cat paw

  • Increased biting
  • Litter box issues
  • Becoming distrustful of their owner/veterinarian
  • Becoming less social and fearful
  • Later life health issues may arise including arthritis and lameness

We strongly suggest alternatives such as claw clipping,
scratching posts, nail caps and/or sticky paws.
