Episode Recap

The Paw Project - The Paw Project's mission is to educate the public about the painful and crippling effects of declawing, to abolish the practice of declaw surgery, and to rehabilitate cats who have become crippled from declawing. Declawing is the amputation of the last bone of a cat's toes - equivalent to cutting off your finger at the last knuckle. Paw Project veterinarians have performed over 200 paw repair surgeries on 70 big cats since 2000. These surgeries were made possible through the generous donations of people like you who care about animals.The Paw Project, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. For more information about alternatives to declawing and how you can help our feline friends, please call (310) 795-6215 or visit the Paw Project web site at www.PawProject.org.
