How to care for a kitten after laser declaw with other cats at home?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Female | spayed | 2 months and 5 days old

My kitten has an appointment to get declawed by a laser on August 1st. What will the restrictions be since I have another cat? Should I keep my kitten in a small space? 2 days after she gets declawed I’m having someone check in on her for 3 days what should I have them do?

I would keep Marvel in a large crate or a small room by herself to rest up. She will need a litter box filled with shredded newspaper during this healing time. She should be kept alone to restrict movement. Your vet will give detailed discharge instructions. Have the person checking on her follow these instructions.
