What is Declawing?
Declawing isn’t just trimming nails, it’s the amputation of the last bone in each toe. Imagine losing your fingers at the last knuckle.

How Declawing Harms Cats:
Declawing can lead to:
• Nerve damage and chronic pain
• Arthritis or phantom pain
• Bone fragments left behind
• Behavior changes like biting and avoiding the litter box

Because of these risks, many veterinary organizations strongly oppose declawing.

Why Cats Scratch:
Scratching is normal behavior! Cats scratch to:
• Stretch their bodies
• Shed old nail layers
• Mark their territory with scent

Protecting Your Furniture:
You can keep your home safe without harming your cat:
• Provide tall, sturdy scratching posts and pads (carpet, sisal, wood, cardboard)
• Place posts near furniture your cat targets
• Try vertical, horizontal, and angled options to see what your cat prefers
• Use covers or double-sided tape while training
• Reward your cat for using the right spot

Preventing Scratches on People:
• Keep claws trimmed
• Ask your vet about soft nail caps
• If scratching happens out of fear or aggression, consult a trainer or behaviorist

Cats need their claws—for balance, mobility, and wellbeing. Let’s protect them by giving healthy alternatives instead of declawing. 🩷🐾

Remember our tripod Jack who got adopted in July? His foster mom receives updates from his family. They recently sent an update and say he has been enjoying the sunshine, getting some good naps in and loves his daddy's lap! We are so over the moon happy for Jack! 😍 💞💕

Goldie's back! he went from la to little rock, Arkansas by amtrak, departed early friday arrived 7am today monday, stops in texas and arizona.

My unhoused friend thought life would be better in Arkansas, so they thought, shelters and relatives wanted her to dump goldie on street or animal shelter. He is her service dog. She brought him back to live with me. I had been caring for him off and on when she was hospitalized. When she gets back on her feet, goldie will be so happy to be back with her, til then he is safe and happy.
