Why doesn't the lady adopt an already declawed cat. I hear on these boards that many cats are turned into the shelters declawed.

But No, I can not condon placing ANY cat with an owner who wouldn't try to train the cat, but would automatically put the cat though an unnecessary painful pointless operation.

Can't you educate her in what declawing actually means etc. Even if you didn't give her a kitten, she could get one from somewhere else and declaw that poor cat.

I really believe education is the ONLY way to stop people from declawing their pets.
