I'm pretty new here and i know alot of you are against declawing, but i would like to get some feedback on what to do regarding my living situation. Here goes:


I have a wonderful cat, her and i have been happy together from 2-3 years. My rent in my apartment was getting way out of my price range and i decided to move. Problem- I have just moved into a band new apartment that has very strict regulations for cat and dog owners. In order for me to keep my cat and to keep my apartment, i will have to do something to control the cat scratching. She has already scratched the side of walls, the carpet (furnished by the apartment), and my new furniture. I had tried all kind of things to prevent this. I have learned now that its either to put her in a shelter or go for the surgery. What should i do? I really rather her not go through any bodily harm, but do i really have a choice?
