How much does it cost to get cats declawed?

No cat lover would doubt that cats - whose senses are much keener than ours - suffer pain. They may, however, hide it better. Not only are they proud, they instinctively know that they are at risk when in a weakened position, and by nature will attempt to hide it. But make no mistake. This is not a surgery to be taken lightly.

Your cat's body is perfectly designed to give it the grace, agility and beauty that is unique to felines. Its claws are an important part of this design. Amputating the important part of their anatomy that contains the claws drastically alters the conformation of their feet. The cat is also deprived of its primary means of defense, leaving it prey to predators if it ever escapes to the outdoors.

Declawing is mutilation. It's the same as having the first joint of your fingers cut off. It is not just removing nails, as a cat's nails are attached to its last toe joints.
