My Sister Rescued 2 Cats that She Can't Keep Not a Good Update Pg. 3

[jennielynn1970]

Is there no one who is interested in adopting who won't declaw?? Honestly, if they want to declaw them, I wouldn't give them to the family that insists on declawing, but that's just me. It's a nasty brutal surgery, cutting off the tips of their fingers basically. You can tell your sister that fact, and the fact that she had her previous two done doesn't mean these guys have to be done. That's just ridiculous. Ugh. Wish I had a place for them.

I'm hoping I will find someone who is interested in taking them. I'm still waiting to hear back from this one women who inquired about the kitten.

Maybe if that woman knew what buddies the two are, she might take Gus as well. After all, he is ok with the kitten already! And he is ok with kids!

I hope this works out...

Well I'm still awaiting to hear from this women. As for Gus I spoke with my husband about him last night and he's up for taking him in and trying to find him a home with his claws.

So I just need to speak with my sister about this.

I'll let you all know what she says.

[loveallfurryfriends]

Your husband is a softie. I am so glad that you guys are going to take Gus

[Anikaca77]

Well I just hope all goes well and that my sister will allow me to take Gus and this nurse lady finds another cat that is already declawed.

[Anikaca77]

So this is what my sister has to say so far.

I'm going to call her tonight I'm sure that's not going to be a good conversation.

I just hope I can get Gus before it's too late.


NO!!!!!!!!

YOU ARE CRAZY!!!

I have already found my own vet so stop this stupid
nonsense.

Well, there's not much you can do I guess if your sister isn't willing to give him up. You certainly tried and I must say, her responses to you are kind of aggressive and a bit mean. Afterall, you are just trying to help an animal have the best possible life.
I hope that Gus will heal up okay. It seems like cats who are adults who have their claws removed deal with a great deal of discomfort. I know of two declawed cats and the one who was under a year when her claws were removed does fairly well but the one that was 3 or 4 years old at the time walks as if he is walking on glass. It's very hard to watch. But, maybe if he can have the laser surgery with glue instead of sutures, it might help a bit? Not sure. Any chance of catnapping Gus???

Any chance of catnapping Gus???

That was going to be my next question. We're not all alike but I can tell ya that if she was my sister, I'd be going there to visit Gus and then I'd poof him. If she's giving him away, Gus isn't really her cat either.

Maybe I'm missing something here, but did anyone think of Soft Paws???

They're like Lee Press On for kitties. It covers their nails so they don't do any damage.

Declawed cats will bite, have litterbox issues and develop arthritis in their paws.

[Anikaca77]

Moosmom,

Soft paws where mentioned.

My sister thinks that would be worse then declawing. She said she's never going to agree with me on it and then she started bringing up how some people think it's wrong to spay and neuter animals but it's necessary to control the over population of animals as it is.

I wish I could do something. All I can do is just to keep offering.
