The younger the better. Usually it's best to get a cat declawed when you get it neutered or spayed, or when it is around 6 to 9 months of age. If you are wanting to get a cat declawed when it is much older, please reconsider as you will be putting a lot of stress and pain on the animal if you've suddenly decided to declaw your 2 or 5 year old cat.

Some very strong views that oppose the declawing of cats state that it should never occur at any age or anytime throughout a cat's life. Here is that view:

Never! It really is not necessary-- you can teach your cat to use a scratching post, and trim its nails every couple weeks. If you start that when they're young they should adjust well to it. Declawing kittens/cats is really just cruel. Every cat will have a few "accidents" where it scratches something it shouldn't have, but if you're that uptight about having an animal scratch anything, maybe you shouldn't have pets...
