Mr. Puff (@puffandpeppercorn showing his jellybeans and claws to support the #antideclaw bill for NY! Press conference is tomorrow in nearby Albany. Educate others on this awful procedure! Very proudly, mahm has educated and stopped two cat parents from choosing declawing. #stopdeclawing #pawsneedclaws #thepawproject #catsofinstagram @citythekitty @pawproject (at New York State Capitol)

Whoever says "A cat is better off losing its claws than its home," doesn't realize many cats lose both. Meet Stormy: Stormy came into Hamilton Animal Control (Guelph, ON, Canada) as a stray. Stormy has been neutered and declawed (all four paws), so he certainly belonged to someone, but nobody came looking for him at the shelter. Stormy was severely matted and infested with fleas. His skin was red and raw from scratching. He seemed to be experiencing pain in his eyes. He was squinting, and there was an obvious ulcer in one eye. Staff at the shelter started him on eye medication to try to help. Once Stormy’s stray time was done, we were happy to get him out of the shelter and straight to the vet to get a diagnoses. Turns out, Stormy has a serious issue with his eyes called entropion and a second issue called corneal sequestrum. Dr. Fleming at Guelph Animal Hospital volunteered to do the surgery Stormy required for his eyes, (how generous!) and this video is him at the clinic just after his surgery. While he was under anesthetic, Stormy had his teeth cleaned (and one rotten tooth removed), and a cyst was removed from his leg. Once he's had some follow up appointments to be sure everything is healed, Stormy will be available for adoption.

Available for adoption: Sweet Potato! STATUS: Adoptable AGE AT ARRIVAL: Approximately 5 years old ARRIVAL DATE: November 13th, 2017 GENDER: Spayed Female ADOPTION FEE: $150 NOTES: Sweet Potato was front paw declawed by her previous owners. She will need to stay on a weight loss diet in her forever home. Twenty pounds of Sweet Potato love! Sweet Potato came into Hamilton Animal Control as a stray. How a declawed, twenty pound cat who only wants to take a few steps before laying down becomes a stray is a mystery to us, but we digress… Despite having a pretty bad flea infestation, and a very dirty bum from not being able to turn to clean it, Sweet Potato is as sweet as they come. HAC staff got her bum cleaned up and administered flea treatment, and she seemed to be very thankful for both those things. On the day of her rescue, we took Sweet Potato to the vet for a check up and she is healthy, other than needing to lose quite a lot of weight. Her blood results were normal, and she tested negative for FIV and FeLV. Yay! Here’s a note from Sweet Potato’s foster home: “Sweet Potato is as her name suggests-super sweet! Very purry and friendly, loves pets, being brushed and playing. Due to her large size, she occasionally does the “butt scoot” on the floor after using the litter box as she can’t reach her back end to clean up. If you keep a mat or carpet near the litter tray, she seems to be good at using the same spot so it’s easy to deal with. She also doesn’t mind her back end being washed with a warm cloth which also keeps things clean back there. Once she loses a bit of weight and can reach, she should start cleaning herself again. It’s very sad that her previous owners let her get so large because she is a sweetheart and dealing very well with her new limited diet!” Please adopt Sweet Potato!

@Regrann from @helping_meowt - 📃📃 SIGN A PETITION, MAKE A CHANGE📃📃 @Regrann from @purrfect_pals - WA RESIDENTS - PLEASE TAKE ACTION! A volunteer at MEOW Cat Rescue is collecting signatures for an online petition to Governor Inslee, asking that declawing be banned in Washington State. We all know the horrors of declawing. The USA is long past due to outlaw this barbaric procedure. We only need 259,622 signatures, which may sound enormous, but there are >650,000 people in Seattle alone and 7 million altogether in Washington state. Please sign, share and let's do this for all the cats who depend on us to be their voice and protectors. https://www.change.org/p/jay-inslee-ban-cat-declaw-in-washington-state (link in our bio) #adoptdontshop #antideclaw #cat #cats #catsofinstagram #catlover #catsneedclaws #catlovers #catstagram #cats_of_instagram #dontdeclaw #dontdeclawyourcat #declawingismutilation #jayinslee #ilovemycat #pawproject #paws #pawsneedclaws #petsagram #petition #purrfectpals #purrfect_pals #savetheclaws #signpetition #spayandneuter #stopdeclawing #stopdeclawingcats #thepawproject #helpingmeowt
