My sense of security was cut off right along with my claws.

Declawing often creates this terrible cycle.

Cats are painfully maimed by the declawing surgery, which many people compare to the equivalent of cutting off fingers or fingertips.

Then, when behaviors develop in the aftermath, sometimes skipping the litter box or becoming nippy, they get thrown out of their homes and families.

Beautiful Dori is a victim of this cycle, using her mouth and teeth more when nervous and fearful since she no longer has nature's greatest natural protection for her -- her claws.

Dori should never had been declawed. And while we are encouraged that more veterinarians are opting against this painful procedure, countless cats will continue to be maimed and discarded until it is abandoned completely.

Dori is a Tortoiseshell (& white) with stunning color patterns. She is spayed and about 3 years of age. (Both of her front paws are declawed.)

She will do best in a patient, adult-only home. She is very sweet and her personality can bloom again once she feels secure and safe, strictly indoors only.

Please ask for Dori by name in the free-roaming Cat Condo playrooms at Nevada SPCA.

Anna Beanie Little Eric Michelle Nicholas Sisters Anna and Michelle , and their brothers Beanie , Little Eric , and Nicholas , are very affectionate babies who love giving you kisses. We rescued their pregnant mother, a Cocker Spaniel named Mary Poppins from a government-funded shelter.  She had reportedly been bred with a Scottish Terrier.  We placed Mary Poppins in a loving foster home and she gave birth to these five angels and raised them there. Mary Poppins is going to be adopted by her foster family.  Her puppies are now 3 months of age, spayed/neutered, and ready for adoption. Please carefully puppy-proof your home and yard for their safety and protection.
