This action is ONLY for residents of California
California could be the next state to officially ban cat declawing! But we need YOUR voice to end this cruel procedure once and for all.
Right now, the declaw ban bill, Assembly Bill 867, is on Governor Newsom’s desk for his signature. This is the last step to finally ban declawing throughout your state. Please, urge the governor to sign it into law right now to Keep Cats’ Claws On Their Paws!
Declawing is not a nail trim—it is far more severe. It is a surgical amputation of the last joints of a cat’s toes that is virtually always nontherapeutic, meaning it has no medical benefit to the cat. Without their claws, cats can’t perform many of their instinctive behaviors, can feel unsafe without their natural protection, and can experience difficulty with balance and walking.
The pain and discomfort caused by declaw surgery can lead to permanent physical and mental harm for cats.
California—we’re so close! This is the last step. Let’s end declawing in your state once and for all.
With a few clicks, you can make your voice heard. Urge Governor Newsom to sign AB 867 into law and ban cat declawing.
