Thank goodness when good people know better, they do better. ❤️
Repost from @spookie_jess • John and I watched The Paw Project today.
We both ended up sobbing.
13 years ago when Spooks was declawed the vet we were going to said they could do it while he was getting fixed. They assured us that it was a “simple procedure” and that he’d be fine and that he was young enough he “probably wouldn’t even notice they’re missing”. And I was young and naive enough to believe them.
When I found out the truth years later I was beyond devastated. How could I have let them butcher my baby to make some extra money with a completely unnecessary procedure? I regret what we did to Spooks (and Mew) EVERY. DAY. Every time I see him wince slightly when he walks, or pulls his paw away quickly when I stroke it - I feel my heart break into a million pieces. And I can’t fix it, but I can vow to never EVER do it again. And so can you.
PLEASE educate yourselves. Don’t declaw. There are so many other options. I definitely recommend finding a vet you trust who just flat out refuses to do the procedure. (Like the AMAZING @parkanimalhospital.ca if you’re local to the Mississauga/Etobicoke area!) And definitely watch the #pawproject documentary. Heck, if you’re local I will even lend you my copy. Just message me. 🖤🐾

we need to focus a lot of our efforts into educating people about what decline really entails! I feel like I have met a lot of people that have declawed their cats out of ignorance because they simply don't understand what it means to declaw cat, what the cat goes through or the lasting pain they have to endure for the rest of their life after the procedure! Most of the people that I have talked to about declawing have said that if they had known what it entailed order that they were actually cutting off the tips of their cats fingers causing them lasting pain, they would have never gone through with the procedure! Thankfully I have talked to some that we're going to go through the procedure and change their minds because I told them what it entailed!

Thank you for this post. So many people have no idea how evil declawing really is. When we took our very first kitten in to be spayed many years ago, our vet also asked if we wanted to “add on” declawing, and we said yes –– having no idea what we were about to do to our poor little kitten. I am still heartbroken for her and so angry at that vet. Please, please, please—don’t give your business to any vet clinic that declaws, even if only one of the vets declaws once a year. Take your business to a humane and ethical vet.

Sometimes the vets X-ray the feet and can do remedial surgery now if they’re not too old. I worry about anesthetic in any age animal. There r vets who specialize in repairing declawed cats’ feet. I believe some do it for free.

Can u give them daily pain medication or hemp oil for cats? Please look into these things.

Stop declawing! It is an horrific and barbaric procedure! Please stop.
