    I don't think this is the best possible situation for Parker. If she's already bitey, declawing will probably make it worse. The lady sounds like she wants a fancy cat as a showpiece.

    Can you suggest she go to a shelter and look for cats already declawed? That may solve her problem.

    It'd be irresponsible to adopt a cat out to someone who wants to do this.

    I'm sure there are plenty of cats who are already declawed awaiting a home.

    No vote for me

    Doesn't sound like the right home to me. You asked!

    Good luck.

    I agree with everyone- not only because of the declawing but also because she said "I don't have time to train a cat."

    Means: she considers the cat as a piece of furniture too. It's just there you don't have to do something for her.

    Oh no... oh please don't let pretty Parker go to this home... it seems this person only want's a cat for show... a cat is a person too, and needs love and attention... Heck... I ruin everything in sight, but mamma still loves me to bit! I'm sure a loving forever home will come up soon, and I shall keep my paws crossed that Paker will win the heart of someone who will love her, claws and all!

    I emailed PurrsAbound and told Retta about my conversation with the lady. I also suggested that she NOT adopt Parker to this woman for all the reasons everyone of you posted.

    I also feel this woman doesn't care about Parker as a pet. That dumb remark she made really pissed me off. If you're gonna have a pet, have one because you CARE about it, not because you want an "object".

    I'll let you know what they decide. In the meantime, Parker isn't going anywhere.

    I got an email from PurrsAbound and the will NOT be adopting Parker out to that lady. I told them of my concerns and my conversation with her. They said they value and respect the foster home's opinions and if a "red flag" goes up, that's enough for them.

    YEAH!!! The right home will come along for her in time. Someone who will love her just as she is with claws and that will have the time for her.


    Thanks so much kittycats_delight for the beautiful siggy and avatar of my kids!

    I just saw this thread - sorry donna! I'd say you made the right decision. As much as you'd love to see her find a home, this one was not the right one!
