Does anyone know of a business in Boone County that would be willing to sponsor a local Animal Rescue organization (tax deductible) for $100-200 a month?

For decades, declawing was routinely offered as a standard, convenient procedure to protect expensive living room sofas, antique rugs, and delicate drapes from normal feline wear and tear. 🛋️ Many owners were assured it was simply an extended nail trim that would keep both furniture and skin completely safe from scratching.

Yet declawing (onychectomy) is far from a harmless manicure—it is an irreversible, elective amputation of the last joint and bone of each toe, equivalent to severing human fingers at the top knuckle. Removing these vital structural joints permanently shifts how a cat carries its body weight, frequently causing chronic neuropathic nerve pain, premature arthritis, and severe back strain. Denied their primary defense and territorial marking mechanism, declawed cats often develop lifelong behavioral complications, including persistent litter box avoidance from painful paw pads on gritty clay, and increased defensive biting.

Protecting your furniture never requires surgical sacrifice; regular nail trims, horizontal cardboard scratchers, sturdy vertical sisal posts, and soft silicone claw caps allow cats to keep their natural anatomy intact.

Prevention remains one of our biggest priorities, and today, we make good on that promise to the community, by trapping and sending these three “park cats” in for surgeries and vaccinations. Even just these few faces getting this trip to the vet prevents so much suffering and overpopulation. Two appear to be female, one male. And after today, their lives will be substantially easier. Shout out to the resident who lives near the park, where she was noticing a growing population of seemingly homeless, feral cats. She stepped up, and is helping us make a HUGE difference in Boone Co 🥹🐾❤️‍🩹
