I Support Cat Declawing Ban. Rescued cats that have been declawed. First cat I had to, to keep her in room mates pad. Never again she had nerve damage and always would shake her paws as if she was in pain!!

Thank you to the Humane Society in Naples, Florida for honoring veterans, and for helping animals without a home have a better chance at getting one - if only for a few days!

I had my first cat declawed, because I didn't know any better, and wasn't told any different either. She's over 17 years old and very healthy, without any issues. The next cat who joined us 7 years later I had declawed too, because that's what I thought I had to do. Some vet's don't care to educate, because it's more money for them!

Last year I adopted 2 declawed cats at the local shelter to add to my family, who were doomed to certain death. One of them is a multi-toes or Hemingway cat, and each one of his little extra toes were declawed! Now that vet should have his license to practice revoked!
