We had a declawed cat in the general population of our shelter and he did just fine. I think use the standard introduction techniques. I find when cats "box" they keep their claws closed anyway.

Cassie is front paw declawed. She was in the general population at the shelter before I adopted her, and she did fine there. When I adopted her, I did agree to notify the shelter if I ever found a need to have her back paws declawed. That has not happened. I used to find bits of her claws in the rug after she would run kitty sprints. She doesn't sprint much anymore so I try to give her a "kitty pedicure" when they're looking long.Originally Posted by smokey the elder

"That's the power of kittens (and puppies too, of course): They can reduce us to quivering masses of Jell-O in about two seconds flat and make us like it. Good thing they don't have opposable thumbs or they'd surely have taken over the world by now." -- Paul Lukas

I inherited my Grandma's cat, Tommy. He is declawed. I brought one of my cats from my house here to my new house with Tommy. She has her claws. No issues at all.
Time helps the sadness subside, but the memories remain forever.
Pats and cats
That's what my experience has been, too. But I want to have the best possible report to tell them.
Thanks, folks!

My RB Pepper was declawed on his front paws and he did fine with both my RB Storm and RB Sunny. I think that if the cats were going to be indoor/outdoor cats that then there could be a problem. Being indoor only cats there shouldn't be a problem. Good luck.
Friend To All Starry Cats
Well Joseph Angel , Mr Scappy Angel were declawed and most of My Other Found Hotel Cats were clawed but I never noticed that the clawless were picked on at all.
Now all of My Cats have claws and there is fighting , but no real scratching just swinging.
That is why I have to keep an eye on Joey he is feral and his scratches are for real not show.
Terrance has calmed down and does not fight anymore.

I have had both declawed and Clyde cat in the mix and I've never had an issue either. I think the key is gradually introducing them properly.
