Petition: Ban Cat Declawing Nationwide — Follow California’s Lead

Declawing isn’t a nail trim — it’s a brutal amputation of a cat’s toe bones. The procedure causes lifelong pain, nerve damage, arthritis, and even behavioural issues that can lead to cats being abandoned. While many countries have already outlawed it, millions of U.S. cats still endure this cruel and unnecessary surgery.

California recently joined Rhode Island, New York, Maryland, Massachusetts, and Virginia in banning cat declawing — a historic move proving that compassion and science can drive change. But cruelty shouldn’t depend on your zip code. Congress must act now to protect cats nationwide.

Sign the petition now to demand a federal ban on declawing and ensure every cat in America is safe from needless suffering. Together, we can end this outdated and inhumane practice for good.
