CityVet.com says on their website that their core values are, “We promise to serve pet families in the kindest ways possible. Our collective compassion, support, and exceptional care shape our values and give us purpose everyday.”

They say “Kindness Is In Our Culture. Everyone here is united by kindness and passionate about serving those who need us most. We are animal lovers, incredible listeners, willing helpers, and devoted healers, all working together daily to ensure patients and families receive the best care possible.”

CityVet says, “Care Rooted In Kindness” on their social media and website.

We reached out to the CityVet leaders, in January of 2025, to ask them if they allow declawing and never heard back from them.

We asked them how barbarically amputating a cat's much needed toe bones and claws is kind-hearted, care rooted in kindness, healing, great care, and the best care in veterinary medicine.  No reply.

We wanted to see how common declawing is in CityVet clinics, so our researchers made a short phone call to 22 CityVet clinics and asked them for the cost of a neuter/spay/declaw. 

Out of 22 random CityVet practices, we found almost 1/3 are performing declawing. Some even asked if you want the cost for a two or four paw declaw. Here's our story. https://citythekitty.org/why-would-cityvet-com-say-they-are-devoted-healers-yet-they-allow-declawing-in-their-vet-clinics/

Please send a polite note to the CEO of CityVet, David Boguslawski, and Chief Veterinary Officer, Dr Paul Kline and ask them why they allow declawing in their veterinary clinics and if they think declawing is care rooted in kindness and if a declaw is a healing procedure.
