Reply to comment by L-E-B- in Allentown becomes 2nd city in Pa. to make declawing cats illegal by fireside_blather

I think it's one of those things that's technically legal, but good luck finding a vet who will do it

I had a vet recommend it to me :/

Lots of vets do it... So your indoor cat doesn't ruin your furniture

That's a terrible reason.

I mean the alternative is these jackasses will abandon the cat. Most vets who do this are doing it for harm reduction purposes.

I would never abandon my pets but I'm also not explicitly against declawing cats

Should’ve told your landlord you didn’t want to mutilate your cats. Then discussed an alternative to declawing. Like the claw covers that can go on and don’t bother the cat. They fall off over time and they are cheap to replace.
