City the Kitty

06/12/2026

Hey folks,
We are REALLY busy working on a big story about and how they allow declawing and many of their clinics perform it.
So...

Will you please help us and reach out to and ask them 3 simple questions we need for another story. We appreciate all the work that they do to help animals, especially all the declawed cats who need paw repair surgeries and new homes. They told us they believe declawing is inhumane and they have a no-declaw adoption contract.

Best way to get an answer is on their Instagram messaging option or you can email them at [email protected]

Here are the 3 questions we REALLY need answered.
1) Is your shelter filled with more cats because you have a no-declaw adoption contract?
2) Do you believe that if declawing is banned then the cat relinquishment and euthanasia rates will go way up?
3) It appears from your page that you often take in surrendered declawed cats. Can you speak about how declawing does not guarantee a cat will stay in its home?

First person to email us their answer to these questions will get a City the Kitty book. We need screenshots of their answers. [email protected]

Always take the high road and educate.

Thanks for all the great advice on the food choices since I’m losing weight and only like the gravy! 🐾❤️

What Do You Think of This Billboard Idea?

This AI-generated mockup shows a possible mobile billboard campaign asking CareVet to ban declawing.

The plan would be to park it outside CareVet's headquarters in Clayton, Missouri, drive it around the area, and contact local media. We're currently getting quotes and exploring a fundraiser to make it happen.

CareVet is one of the largest veterinary groups in America. Its website promises "Excellence in Every Clinical Outcome" and says "Every decision we make is based on what's best for your pet's health, happiness and longevity."

Yet CareVet allows declawing and many of their clinics perform this animal cruelty on cats.

Also, please respectfully ask CareVet on Facebook and Instagram to ban declawing. Take a screenshot of your comment after posting it, as Carevet is deleting and hiding your comments.

Please also sign and share our petition! We've had hundreds of people sign it in the last few days so let's keep it going!

Educate, advocate, and keep the focus on protecting cats.

Why Is CareVet Hiding Our Comments Asking Them to Ban Declawing? https://www.facebook.com/careVetHealth

CareVet says every decision is based on a pet's health, happiness, and longevity. Yet when animal lovers respectfully ask the company on Facebook and Instagram to stop allowing declawing, the comments appear to be hidden.

We aren't attacking CareVet. We are trying to inspire CareVet to do the right thing and protect cats from this inhumane and cruel amputation procedure linked to lifelong pain and suffering.

If CareVet truly believes in better outcomes and putting ALL pets first, it should answer the concern, not hide it.

Please ask CareVet to ban declawing.

Why Is CareVet Hiding Your Comments on Facebook and Instagram Asking It to Ban Declawing? https://www.facebook.com/CareVetHealth

CareVet says, “Excellence in Every Clinical Outcome” and that “Every decision we make is based on what's best for your pet's health, happiness and longevity.”

Yet when animal lovers respectfully ask CareVet on their Facebook and Instagram posts to stop allowing declawing, the comments appear to be hidden.

These animal lovers aren't attacking CareVet. They're simply asking the company to live up to its own promises and protect cats from an inhumane amputation procedure linked to lifelong pain and suffering.

If CareVet truly believes in better outcomes and putting pets first, why HIDE the comments instead of addressing the issue?

Please ask CareVet: Honor your words. Ban declawing.

To show how far some pro-declaw advocates will go to stop our education about this animal cruelty and the billion-dollar declaw industry in America, here's what happened this week:

Our website was hacked, and it's finally back up.

Then today, someone hacked the email account of a no-declaw veterinary clinic and sent us an email containing a malicious PDF designed to compromise our email account if opened. They used the veterinarian's name and clinic information in hopes we would trust it and click.

If these tactics show anything, it's that awareness is making an impact.

Please sign our new petitions urging CareVet, Vetcor, Mission Pet Health and AAHA to stop allowing declawing in their clinics. Your voice matters. With your help, NVA—the second-largest veterinary group in the U.S.—ended declawing in its hospitals because of our campaign.

Please contact CareVet, Vetcor, Mission Pet Health and AAHA and ask them to ban declawing in their clinics! Take a screenshot of your polite comment as CareVet is hiding all of them!

Big thanks to The Paw Project and Linda Rosenthal for banning declawing in NY State in 2019 and for protecting cats from this animal cruelty and declawing vet$!!!

This is the exact second the New York Declaw Ban passed! First in the nation.

In honor of Teeger and his two siblings who were declawed at an AAHA.org hospital in 2015 and suffered devastating complications that led to most of their paws being amputated, please send a polite message to AAHA’s leadership asking why they are still waiting for the support of declawing veterinarians before fully banning this inhumane procedure.

Last year, AAHA said it plans to ban declawing within 1–3 years “with member support."
But when cats are still suffering permanent harm and suffering from declawing, why should ending it depend on the approval of the veterinarians still performing it?

Sigh...We did a post yesterday asking for 60 seconds of your time and it went out to over 300,000 people.
Only 5 people signed our petition and 5 people reached out to CareVet https://www.facebook.com/CareVetHealth

We CAN'T continue this anymore without YOUR help. 😿

How can we get people to help us end this animal cruelty??
We aren't asking for money and just need you to take 60 seconds of your time to sign our petition and send a note to CareVet. 😿

Here's the post:
NOT COOL AT ALL!

Carevet.com is one of the biggest Veterinary group companies in America. They allow declawing. 😾

Will you please help us and simply ask CareVet 's Dr Kent Thornberry, CVO and Founder, why he allows declawing in CareVet health hospitals. 🐾

PLEASE ask Carevet that question on their Instagram or Facebook posts, DM them on their Instagram page, or email [email protected]

We posted this nice comment on their latest Instagram post and they hid it.
We sent them a few emails and they've ignored them since 2022.

PLEASE sign our new petition to CareVet.com.
We MUST be the voices for cats!
