Survived a vicious kick, only to end up declawed and castrated. Oh well, at least he’ll get fed regularly, and vaccinated to death.

They should have castrated and declawed the dude that kicked him.

His current pic shows he has his front claws.

Who would have declawed him? I think your average kitty would trade his balls for about 20x the lifespan and continued food, safety, play and affection.

I missed where it said he was declawed. Neutering is something that has to be done to a rescue. I wouldn’t have a pet who was not “fixed.” Too much drama. We did have a cat years ago that we decided not to neuter. We just had his tubes snipped. Vet thought we were nuts (pun intended). Anyway, he had fun, came home with scratches and finally disappeared. Our current cat, Bob (he spells his name backwards) only goes out on our deck. He is totally not interested in other cats, always wants in and in his safe basement with his cat box at night. He’s surviving and has the fun of watching the birds on our feeders.

I don’t know of any place where rescued cats are declawed-even vets out here consider it cruel, even for indoor cats, and do not offer that service. But neutering/spaying needs to be done so that more strays are not born to starve, or run loose and be abused by cruel people-neutered animals roam a lot less, and so stay much safer. My 3 cats are shelter rescues and live happily indoors. All are neutered, all have full sets of claws.

I’m sure King will end up in the lap of luxury-out here, that means living inside away from the coyotes and other predators in the woods-in King’s case it appears to mean living inside, safe from human predators, too...

As long as the kitty is away from the repulsive life-form who inflicted harm upon him, I’m happy.

Where did you read that the cat was declawed?
