[[link removed]] [[link removed]] Let's Ban Cat Declawing in 2025 Declawing is not a nail trim— it is far more severe [[link removed]] . It is a surgical amputation of the last joints of a cat’s toes that can cause
lifelong pain and trauma.

Since our founding, Alley Cat Allies has stood firmly against cat declawing as
the cruel, unnecessary, and harmful act it is. And this year, we’re taking
action to propel declaw ban legislation in states across the country.

We’re also mobilizing compassionate advocates to take a stand against declawing
in their communities. Here are the latest updates on declaw bans in 2025:

California’s declaw ban is ready for the next step

[[link removed]] Impact Story: Rescuing Bean Alley Cat Allies never takes a break from saving cats' lives! This month, one
of our team members didn't hesitate to cancel her dinner plans when she spotted
a small black cat lying, unmoving, on the side of the road.

After rushing him to a veterinarian, we discovered he was just a kitten—less
than a year old! And, that he was covered in fleas, emaciated, and FIV positive.

We at Alley Cat Allies know cats with FIV can live long, happy lives, and there
was no way we would ever give up on this little guy. So we’ve given him a
name—Bean—and we’re providing him with foster and veterinary care support
through his recovery. We’re glad to say he’s eating like a champ and is beyond
sweet; he never stops purring and making muffins.

Our belief is that Bean was severely neglected by his previous owners and, after
showing signs of health issues, was dumped on the road. We're going to do all we
can to make sure he has many, many happy years ahead of him.

To you, our supporters: THANK YOU. You are the reason we can save Bean, and cats
like him, every day through widespread humane care, outreach, and education. [[link removed]] [[link removed]] [[link removed]] [[link removed]] [[link removed]] [[link removed]] [[link removed]] 7920 Norfolk Avenue, Suite 600, Bethesda, MD 20814
