No, you will need to see a full-service veterinarian for this major surgery. Declawing cats is a surgical procedure where a cat’s toes are amputated at the last joint which removes bone, not just the nail. Declawed cats must be indoor only pets since they are less able to climb and defend themselves from predators. Physical and behavioral side effects can occur, so be sure to discuss this procedure thoroughly with your veterinarian if you are considering declawing. We highly recommend other solutions such as providing several appropriate scratching surfaces and trimming your cat’s nails often.
