This action is ONLY for residents of New Jersey

New Jersey could be the next state to officially ban cat declawing! But we need YOUR voice to end this cruel procedure once and for all.

The declaw ban bill, S 1406, is currently sitting in the New Jersey Senate Economic Growth Committee. We need to urge the legislators on the Committee to report the bill favorably out of committee for a floor vote! Please contact the Committee members and urge them to say YES to this lifesaving measure.

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.

Let’s end declawing in New Jersey once and for all and Keep Cats’ Claws On Their Paws!
