where to get my cat declawed?

Answer 1

plzz don't do that, it is cruel to do that, how would u feel if some1 said u couldn't keep your fingernails.

Answer 2

Getting your cats declawed is actually not inhumane. For many cats it saves their lives because they are somewhat aggressive and will scratch their owners, whether they are children or adults along with tearing up their furniture and whatnot. Getting your cat declawed does not render it helpless in the outside world because cats actually use their back claws (which they leave in)when they are in a fight and to climb up a tree while they use their front claws (which they take out) to play and stretch on furniture and people. Before I had my cats declawed I first did some research and I also talked to the vet and that was what they told me. You can get your cat declawed at a vet and some spca clinics will do it for cheap as well.

Answer 3

The United States is way behind the rest of the civilized world in its attitude toward declawing of cats. Declawing has been illegal in England for several years. Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Wales, Finland and Brazil are among the many countries that either consider declawing illegal or inhumane, and only allow it under extreme circumstances. More and more savvycat aficionados, Cat Fancy organizations, and veterinarians in the United States are mounting protests against declawing, calling it inhumane and unnecessary.

Indeed, in all my research on the Internet, I have yet to see a veterinarian cite a common medical reason for declawing, except to repair a badly done first job, in which the claws have grown back, causing crippling pain to the cat.

Answer 4

Vets declaw cats, but it is not a good option. Trim your cat's nails, train it to use a scratching post, and if necessary, apply soft paws to cover your cats nails. Declawing is cruel, the other options are not.

Answer 5

at your vets office is where you will have to get it done or you could check with your local spca to see if they do the procedure. but ask around before you settle on a vet and see if you can get any recomendations because i had one of my cats declawed at a vet i didnt know much about and he left part of the claw in my cats foot and it got infected. i had to take my poor cat back and put him through it again to get the rest of the nail removed

Answer 6

The vet.....where else would you get it done at. also you should think of other ways to prevent your cat from scratching things. Declawing is mean!

Answer 7

NO WHERE!!!

This is a creul thing to do. It is like cutting your fingers off at the top knuckle.

It renders the animal defenceless outside...they cannot fight back or climb things to get away. Even normally indoor cats will get outside a couple of times in their lifetime.

If you are so concerned about your furniture or don't want to be scratched, you probably don't deserve the cat.

Keep the cat's nails trimmed and provide lots of scratching posts and he will be fine.

Answer 8

cats have claws because they dont have fingers.
they NEED their claws just like you NEED your fingers.
try getting your cat a scratching post if there is a problem with your cat scratching your furniture.

if your cat is NOT scratching your furniture, there is no reason to even think about chopping off its claws.
its WRONG and CRUEL and i doubt ANY vet would do it for you,

Answer 9

A lot of housing developments including for the elderly require spay / neuter and de - claw certificates, not declawing by Vets there are going to be more homeless cats or cats being put down because of over population and not being able to find homes.

Answer 10

Don't get your cat declawed it is inhumane.

Answer 11

The vet should be the only person able to do it. They need to be under anesthesia and will probably stay in house for a few days.

It can be pretty expensive, you should get an estimate first.
