What is Feline Friends’ stance on declawing?
We are strongly against declawing of any cat. All adopters must sign a contract agreeing to never declaw their Feline Friends cat. Declawing is not just the removal of a cat’s nails – it is actually an amputation of half their “finger”, from the knuckle joint onward. This can cause arthritis and other medical conditions later on. In addition, a cat relys on its claws as a means of defense, whether for protecting itself or climbing a tree to get away from a predator. Even indoor cats can sometimes get out. • StopDeclaw.
