The information from Paw Project Utah that many cats have suffered from a botched declawing and have fragments of bone in their paws is horrifying. Their latest case is Davis who …
Judgement day is coming soon! Another of a growing number of non declawing vets is prepared to take a stand: ‘PAW PROJECT – it’s a growing thing!
