I just received a email from Amber.. she took Peanut Butter in to be spayed and micro chipped.. they got her mixed up with another cat.. after handing Amber the wrong cat and she told them it wasn't her cat, they went and brought out Peanut Butter and they had declawed her !! Amber is devastated and is seeking a lawyer but the damage is done.. PLEASE check out the vet before you leave your baby with them,, if the vet declaws cats, FIND A DIFFERENT VET!! No amount of money can put Peanut Butters finger tips back on her.. This makes me sick.. I want to declaw the vet as well as deballing him !!

OMG! I think I would be pulling out the Vet's fingernails - and a few other appendages. How horrible - poor Peanut Butter. I'm with you Arlene - I'll hold that vet down and you take care of the idiot!

Amber is just as upset as we are.. she sent me the vet's info and I will go after him for this abomination.. Please don't think Amber asked for her to be declawed because she didn't.. it was a mix up that the vet made..I feel he should loose his license over this, I don't think it will happen but if he gets sued for enough money he might loose his insurance and then not be able to practice.. we'll see.

Some people shouldn't be able to even have animals let alone the vets that would do such a thing. I was referring to the owner that was wanting THEIR cat declawed. I know Amber wouldn't have that done. That came across poorly. You would never let anyone have one of your babies that would do that as well. I hope that Vet looses his license.....Go Go Arlene!!!

OK, now I got it.. I thought you were referring to Amber.. your right I would never sell to any one who would declaw.. it is one of the things that just get my blood boiling.. I agree with you of coarse.. people should have a cat if they have to take their claws out.. usually it is just stupid people with their carpet covered scratching post.. like the cat can figure out what is theirs to scratch on when it's the same thing as the carpet on the floor and the fabric on th furniture.. all they need is a sisal rope scratching post.. if they are really having a hard time then the vet should suggest the soft paws, not amputation.. I hate vets that still do that. So barbaric.

Oh, poor Peanut and Amber! It makes me sick to think either of them had to go through that. Having worked in a vet's office and also at the Humane Society I was able to educate people about what declawing really is to a cat.
Makes me want to cry right now - thinking of how I would feel if that happened to Stealer. :-(

Wow, I can't imagine how a vet could screw up that bad! Yeah, he needs to write a very big malpractice check, and have his license pulled... Unbelievable! I'm so sorry to hear about this...

Amber,
I'd take Peanut Butter to another vet ASAP. Mostly to have the chip checked to be sure it has the right info on it. I'll bet it has the other cats owners info, and that needs to be fixed...
Again, I'm heart sick to hear about this....

Yup, she did that and had the info changed over to her .. it is just a big mess from beginning to end.. I'm waiting to hear from Amber as to what the attorney has to say about it but I'm ready to get a campaign started to go after him.. I have the name address and phone number for the butcher .. I really want to go after him and make sure he NEVER declaws another cat again..

How awful! One of the most unique thing about this breed is they do not use their claws. So the need to declaw isn't even a factor. Never have had one scratch from Scooter (although he does bite occasionally) little stinker. He uses his pads to play. Just the fact that Amber got the wrong cat brought to her would be enough to send someone over the edge. My heart goes out to Amber and Peanut...the little toes will heal but the emotional scar is permanent. DL's are resilient. (and I still think that is the coolest name ever)!!

Yes, they are very wonderful if I do say so myself.. Amber said that Peanut Butter is doing well, she is still so sweet and loving.. just a horrid thing to do .. I know I would have been arrested if it was one of my cat's.. I am a crazy person when it comes to that.. My vet won't declaw, he says he didn't become a vet to mame, disfigure, mutilate or butcher animals.. he also refuses to de-bark dogs.. I really like my vet :-)
