Cat Fanciers Association Insists It Is ‘100% Against’ Declawing. Its Own Words And Actions Tell a Different Story
DANGEROUS INFORMATION FOR CATS: CAT FANCIERS’ ASSOCIATION’S NEW ARTICLE PRESENTS THE “PROS” OF DECLAWING, ACKNOWLEDGES SERIOUS HARMS, AND TELLS OWNERS WHAT TO DO “IF YOU DECIDE DECLAWING IS NECESSARY”—DESPITE CFA CLAIMING IT IS “100% AGAINST” DECLAWING
CFA’s September 2026 article presents “PROS” and “CONS” of declawing — instead of just clearly explaining why declawing harms cats and how owners can solve their concerns without inhumanely amputating their cats’ toes and claws.
Western Veterinary Partners Says, “We Believe Every Pet Deserves a Healthy, Happy Life.” So Why Do They Allow Declawing?
Western Veterinary Partners (WVP) CEO Carollee Brinkman mentors others in leadership and animal health while leading one of the largest veterinary group companies in the U.S with over 300 clinics.
Yet under her leadership, Western Veterinary Partners (WVP) continues to allow their vet clinics to perform declawing — a harmful and inhumane procedure that amputates the last bones of a cat’s toes.
The contradiction raises a fundamental question: How can a company that says every pet deserves a “healthy, happy life” and claims to put people first continue to allow declawing when it harms cats and creates ethical conflict and harm for veterinary professionals and staff who oppose it?

What Every Pet Owner in America Should Know: AAHA.org’s Idea of Excellence Includes Cat Cruelty
More than 4,500 practices representing 50,000 veterinary team members pay thousands of dollars to the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA.org), a company that allows a barbaric, antiquated, and inhumane amputation procedure (declawing) so they can be branded as hospitals that deliver quality medicine, embody the “gold standard” of excellence, and raise the bar for the veterinary profession.

Dear Beth Stern, We Are On The Same Side
Dear Beth,
I’m sorry if I hurt your feelings and made you think that I don’t appreciate what you do for cats. Nothing in my comments on the photo of the sad, declawed cat on your instagram page conveyed that you or your rescue condone declawing. I know that you and Animal League believe declawing is bad and wrong and that’s why I asked if you would use your voices for support instead of staying silent on this Cat Protection Bill.
