Thank you for submitting your question regarding Cami. Review your adoption paperwork and see if it specifically says that you agreed not to declaw her. If not, then it will depend on where you live. Some cities have local ordinances that have outlawed declawing of cats. It is best to try to behavioral modifications such as scratching posts, toys, and Soft Paws prior to considering the dewclaw procedure. I hope this information helps!
