3 Spaying ourselves out of kittens? Roughly one third of our adoptions last year were kittens. With folks calling and ing as early as February to ask when we will have more kittens, it may seem preposterous to actively engage in a program that drastically reduces our most popular commodity adorable, fluffy kittens. But we are, enthusiastically! Foster Kitten - Lynn Mccaffrey We love kittens; who doesn t! However, there are real and awful consequences when there are too many of them. By increasing the volume of spay/ neuter surgeries offered to owned pets, we are decreasing the number of unwanted cats being euthanized in area shelters. In fact, in 2011 the Animal Shelter Alliance of Portland, of which CAT is a founding member, reports that feline euthanasia was reduced 55 percent since Combined, area shelters are saving 7 out of 10 cats. And the number of cats brought into shelters is also trending downwards; 2,600 less cats came to shelters last year than in Normally we see an influx of kittens in late April and are at capacity by early June (this is what we call kitten season ). Yet for the past two years, the kittens have been slow to arrive and not just at CAT. Our partner organizations report that they, too, scramble to find kittens to place up for adoption in early summer. Is it coincidence that for the last two years, shelters in Portland came together to increase spay/ neuter efforts to decrease free roaming and unwanted cats, as well as the feline euthanasia rate in the metro area? Most of the participating shelters conclude that the jury is still out on this; however, we all have high hopes that the correlation is spot on. Since the Spay & Save program started in 2009, CAT has fixed 3,917 owned cats, preventing the birth of thousands of unwanted kittens and reducing the number of free-roaming cats significantly. Last year we did almost twice as many low-cost or free surgeries for owned cats as we did in (For more information about Spay & Save, see catadoptionteam.org/ spay.) CAT is committed to offering low-cost options for budget conscious and struggling cat owners. We are willing to spay and neuter ourselves out of kittens. With your help, we can do just that. The $0 - $49 paid by the cat owner nowhere near covers CAT s costs to perform the surgery and care of the cat while in our hospital. If we didn t have any kittens (a very unlikely scenario for many, many years), CAT would still have plenty of adopters. We asked our online fans what they would choose if they were going to adopt a new feline friend. The overwhelming response was an adult cat, which we find interesting when compared to our actual adoption numbers. Help CAT continue to offer our low-cost and inexpensive spay/neuter options with your donation to our Spay Fund.

4 Onychectomy Say the word declaw around a group of pet lovers and you ll find yourself in the middle of an emotionally charged conversation. For many cat-lovers, this is a four letter word. It can stir up a hornet s nest because there are those who adamantly believe it is cruel (period!) and others who believe it needs to be done so they can keep their pet. A national poll of pet owners showed that well over half thought it was okay to get cats declawed. Contrast that with our recent survey of online CAT fans which indicated an overwhelming majority do not think cats should be declawed, with a very small contingent saying it is okay. What is declawing or onychectomy? Basically it is removing the claw and little piece of bone the claw grows from. The less removed, the better, and that s where the differences techniques come in. A traditional declaw is to cut at or near the first joint, also cutting the pad. Cutting the pad can cause discomfort when walking or standing due to soft tissue trauma. With cosmetic declawing, the claw and tiny piece of bone is dissected out. The pad is intact; all the soft tissue is there. So the cat can walk comfortably. However, cosmetic declawing is a difficult and time consuming procedure. (Summarized from WebMD.com) We contacted 31 local veterinary clinics: 6 do not declaw; 4 offer cosmetic declawing; with the remaining offering the traditional declaw procedure. You may pay upwards of $900 for the cosmetic procedure or as little as $300 for the traditional surgery. Clinics will only declaw young, healthy cats, and most will only remove the front claws. One clinic said they will declaw the back feet. Most clinics receive a few inquiries a year. So this doesn t seem to be a popular procedure. Animal shelters across the country have varying declaw policies. Some, like CAT, will not adopt to anyone who even whispers the word declaw, while others provide information and let the adopter decide. It s interesting to note that declawing is not common outside North America (U.S. and Canada), where about 25 percent of pet cats are declawed. The practice is banned in much of Europe, Australia, Turkey, Brazil, and Israel, to name a few. Vets in Portland will give you a good talking to before putting the surgery on their books. They provide clients with a lot of information about the procedure and potential behavior changes. 4 Continued on page 6

6 The American Veterinary Medical Association, however, states: There is no scientific evidence that declawing leads to behavioral abnormalities when the behavior of declawed cats is compared with that of cats in control groups. Scientific or not, shelter workers don t agree with the AVMA s findings. Over the past three years, the top reasons declawed kitties came to CAT (Oregon s largest cat-only animal shelter) included: aggression, biting, litter box issues, not happy in the home, owner moving, or owner lost job. The biggest behavior change is bad litter box habits. Declawed cats (traditional declaw) can experience pain or discomfort in their feet. Most abhor having their feet touched. It is highly recommended to keep declawed cats indoors only and offer a soft litter to decrease the pain experienced when stepping on litter. Liken it to stepping on the pointy end of a small piece of gravel with your bare feet, over and over again. Many owners of declawed cats devote a lot of time and effort to figuring out what litter will keep their cat going in rather than outside the box. Another change may include increased biting or aggression. Some theorize that because the cat no longer has claws, it resorts to using teeth. Think of the times your cat swatted you and convert that from a swat to a bite. Ouch. Over the past three years, 88 declawed cats found homes through CAT (1 percent of the cats adopted in the same time frame). Two of these lucky cats are Shelby and Sheena. Shelby was severely declawed; in fact, her front toes were amputated, making her feet look like paddles. Read their story at: When cats arrive at our shelter due to inappropriate litter box habits, as most declawed cats do, it is an uphill struggle to find them homes. Who wants to adopt a cat with a history of peeing outside the box, regardless of the reason? It takes well-educated adopters, a laundry list of tips and resources, and behavior modification while in the shelter to make an adoption successful. There are many alternatives and positive training methods to discourage a cat from scratching the wrong things. Coupled with the undesirable behavior changes resulting from declawing, which cause many owners to fall out of love with their cat, and there are good reasons to discourage declawing. In fact, CAT will not adopt a clawed cat to someone wishing to declaw. For those looking for alternatives, in particular for resources on training a cat to scratch appropriately, CAT offers useful tips at: 6 One of Shelby s Front Feet
