Declawing
Declawing is amputation. And that is a fact. When you declaw a cat, you physically remove the nail and a part of his toes. It involves a very painful surgery and recovery period and alters the alignment of his spine. Some cats’ personalities and behaviors change as a result of this painful surgery. Did you know that declawing is banned in cities like New York, and many countries have entirely banned the procedure. If you are considering declawing you cat, please read this first!

Spaying & Neutering
Controlling the birthrate of unwanted dogs and cats is the single most important component in achieving a No Kill policy in all shelters across the United States. Not having a pet spayed or neutered leads to overpopulation and, as a result, leads to more unwanted and homeless cats and dogs. Please read more about spaying and neutering.
