When Groucho first adopted us my first call was to the vet to make sure our precious little 7 week old baby got off to a good start. My first question was when should he be neutered. My second question was about declawing, having a kitty was a new experience and at the time I didn't know any better. Well, Dr. Kenny patiently explained the process and answered my questions. During our conversation, she made it VERY CLEAR that the process disfigures the cat, causes long term needless pain & discomfort and she is adamantly opposed to declawing unless it's absolutely medically necessary. I wasn't considering it, only wanted her professional insight.

I could never even think of putting my Groucho through something so barbaric, we love him way too much to put him through that. After discussing it with Dr. Kenny I can't understand how anyone who truly loves their kitty companion would do something so cruel.

For our pets, we need more vets like Dr. Kenny. She does this because of her love for the animals; she treats them gently, touches them with love, and goes to the limit to make sure her patients stay healthy and their owners are well informed on how to keep their pets happy and in the best of health.
