Say NO! to declawing

Declawing is the surgical removal of a cat’s claws to ensure that they won’t grow back. It is a painful and risky amputation procedure that is done only for the selfish benefit of humans.

What are the side effects?

• Incisions may open, resulting in bleeding and infection.
• Declawed cats usually become depressed and urinate outside of the litter box.
• Declawed cats have a much higher tendency to bite due to insecurity.

If a declawed cat gets lost, he won’t be able to climb, escape or defend himself and survive an attack by another animal.

What are the humane alternatives?

There are a few things you can do to ensure that your cat can coexist with your curtains and furniture:

• Place cat trees, scratching pads and posts all around the house.
• Spray citric natural repellents onto your furniture to avoid scratching.
• Make sure your cat gets regular nail trims.
