That is just sooooo sad. The person who did it and the one that dumped her should be MADE to watch what really happens in a declaw surgery. Maybe then they would not do that to another cat!
I had to declaw my first cat because my parents said that was the only way I could keep him. I too cried when Mitten came home with bandaged feet and could not walk to the litter pan. He was one of the fortunate ones where declawing did not affect him physically or mentally. But never again would I put a cat thru that!
I'm paranoid now when I take a cat in for neuter/spay, cause I make sure they know NO DECLAW - its a SHOW cat and they cannot be shown and declawed. But I still check their feet before I take them home - I know mistakes can happen. I wish the US would ban declawing so no one had to suffer or be in doubt.
