No, I wouldn't deny adoption as long as these people keep the cat indoors only. We have neighbors that declawed their cat and let it outside. This part of it scares me. I know people that declaw their cats and they have WONDERFUL homes, they're not hurting, they're indoors, and get so much love. I think this is way better than the alternative. Just my opinion. Now the cat organization we volunteer with will NOT adopt a cat to those that declaw.
