According to many veterinarians, including the American Animal Hospital Association, declawing does not guarantee that cats will remain in homes. Indeed, it frequently has the opposite effect. When a cat’s natural scratching instinct is thwarted, frustrated cats engage in such problematic behaviors as biting and litter box aversion, which lead to abandonment or shelter surrender. Sadly, this is a reality we can verify, based on the number of homeless declawed cats who arrive at our facility every year.
