We Lost A Big Battle Today But We Must Never Give Up
The NYSVMS, Long Island Veterinary Medical Association, and other NY veterinary associations successfully stopped our bill. Some of the Senators had some “concerns” about our cat protection bill and obviously believed the NYSVMS’s disgusting propaganda about declawing.
The Point of the Declawing Cartoon
(From Forbes) My friends, many of you are writing me about this cartoon that is circulating on the internet. Just to clear up any confusion, here is the rest of the story. I reached out to this cartoonist, Kirk Anderson, and asked him if I could get some insight from him about his cartoon. […]
Imagine A World Where Declawing Doesn’t Exist
Who knew when I was born that I would spend my life trying to undo an egregious wrong?
Who knew that when I met my mom, that we would embark on a fight that would consume our lives protecting others’ lives?

Those who supported the NY bill to ban declawing and those who were silent
There’s a bill in NY to ban declawing that will be back on the table next month. We need all the support we can get to convince the legislators how important this bill is for the welfare of cats!
ALL HANDS ON DECK! Silence = Suffering
Alone we can do so little, but together we can do so much. I need your help my friends. Share this post with your friends, family, and co-workers and ask them to help us help kitties from going through what these two had to. Many of you are writing me asking me why certain non-profit […]
NYSVMS 2015 – “We Scored a Direct Hit”, “We Scored A Major Win For The Profession.”
They’ve even spent a ton of money hiring lobbyists to propagate untruths. They must be spending over $10,000/ month to protect their right to mutilate cat paws! Imagine if they spent that money on helping cats through spay/neuter programs or adoptions!
