the shelter i worked at was in the midwest, in a college town (i.e. 3 colleges). most of the declawed kitties i saw in the 2+ yrs i worked there were pretty darn normal. i've only seen one with a regrowth problem (likely the reason he ended up there, then was returned) and a handful of peeing issues.Originally Posted by Breal76
That's interesting because 90% of the declawed cats we get surrendered to our shelter are unadoptable. It's rare when we actually place one up for adoption. The number one reason why I get in a declawed cat is because it's started p***ing in the house.
I have never had a problem adopting out a declawed cat either.
kitties who didn't use the box were not placed. strangely enough, we got a fair amount of stray persians (with the flat face) that wouldn't use the box or not consistently. i thought it was odd.
