I can’t imagine anyone would go to the trouble and expense of declawing a cat without neutering him. Older cats adapt pretty easily, and I think everything will be fine. Perhaps you could post a picture later?
Picture will follow when I actully meet this cat! I’m told he’s “caramel” colored. I asked “Orange”? (Orange would have sealed the deal. Orange cats are the best cats.) “No,” the lady said, “lighter than orange, more beige.” Perhaps that is why his name is “Peanuts”. Maybe he’s peanut colored.
