Every cat will heal at their own speed however when my cat was declawed he came home from the vets the day after surgery. He walked a little slow for a day and was careful not to jump much but was back to normal within a couple of days. He was 8 months when he was declawed.

About two weeks for the feet to mostly heal up, cats can be back to normal like the answer above said in about a week. One of mine is up to almost 4 weeks now and is still bleeding because she's chewing on her feet.

ADD:

Just to expand the answer a little, please be aware that some cats can develop joint or muscle (even behaviour issues such as biting) problems many years after the delawing operation.

Some cats, after a couple of weeks or months, adjust without any further pain or problems. However, some other cats are in pain for many years afterwards, and so will walk and sit in an unnatural manner to minimize the pain. This, in time, can cause stiffness and pain in their legs, hips, and spine. Some cats never really fully recover from being declawed.
