This page is mainly for American visitors in the hope that they will think twice about this inhumane mutilation. Please look at the photos and read this page before you decide to declaw your cat.

DECLAWING - BARBARIC, INHUMANE, CRUEL, PAINFUL, AND ILLEGAL IN EUROPE.
NEED WE SAY MORE?

Yes, we do need to say more because you need to know what you are doing.

Declawing involves removing the toe to the first joint. It causes the kitten excruciating pain when the anaesthetic wears off. Safe painkillers for cats are not very effective.

Still want to declaw your cat?

Your furniture is more important than the welfare and happiness of your cat?

Well, if your child draws on the walls we suppose it is OK to have his or her fingertips cut off.....


CATS NEED THEIR CLAWS FOR DEFENCE, GROOMING, CLIMBING, SCRATCHING THEIR ITCHES etc.
YOU NEED YOUR FINGERNAILS, DON'T YOU?


........and if you say "that's different" you should find another home for your cat with someone who will be kind, not cruel.....and we wonder how you can sleep at night.


It's not "all right" because veterinarians agree to do it. Vets do it to make money, and it makes a mockery of any oath they have sworn not to harm animals.
