Working to end the inhumane practice of declawing through education and legislation.
关于我们
The Paw Project's mission is to educate the public about the painful and crippling effects of feline declawing, to promote animal welfare through the abolition of the practice of declaw surgery, and to rehabilitate cats that have been declawed. Many people, including animal lovers, do not realize that declawing is a surgical procedure in which the animal's toes are amputated at the last joint. A portion of the bone, not just the nail, is removed. Declawing may result in permanent lameness, arthritis, and other long-term complications. The practice, although common in the United States, is illegal in over 40 countries. Great Britain's Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons goes so far as to declare declawing "unnecessary mutilation." Declawing does not keep cats in homes, a fact acknowledged by the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) and the American Association of Feline Practitioners (AAFP). New York and Maryland have banned declawing. A growing number of cities - Los Angeles, San Francisco, West Hollywood, Burbank, Santa Monica, Berkeley, Beverly Hills, Culver City, Austin, the city + County of Denver, and 8 of 10 Canadian provinces have enacted declaw bans sponsored by the Paw Project. Statistics from those cities indicate that the relinquishment of cats to shelters in those cities in the years since the bans were enacted has not increased - in fact, the number of cats dumped in shelters has decreased consistently by ~43%. The Paw Project actively campaigns to legally ban declawing at the community and state level. We are currently working on legislation in CA, NJ, RI, and WV.

Thank you Point of View Magazine for the fantastic review! "The claws come out in?American Cats: The Good, the Bad, and the Cuddly. This fun and unexpectedly bold documentary tackles an inhumane practice wrought upon the internet’s favourite creatures: cats. Amy Hoggart, best known for her work on?Full Frontal with Samantha Bee, serves as host in this investigation into the cruel business of cat declawing. One hardly expects?American Cats?to press as hard as it does after a first act that seems as fluffy as the furballs that fuel it. But beneath the stream of puns is a commitment to do justice to cats that provide?hoomans?with so much love and companionship. Come for the bleps, but stay for the journalistic rigour."

"Full Frontal with Samantha Bee" correspondent, Amy Hoggart, and director Todd Bieber?takes us through the absurd reality of why cat declawing procedures continue. "While a lot of the information exposed to us in the film by Hoggart is alarming, there is a particular success with this film in how incredibly funny it is as well. It really does achieve that perfect balance where the more serious, sometimes even gruesome elements, are paired with really funny conversations and moments."
