Well, it is not recommended, although I have a friend who has 2 front de-clawed male cats who are not even allowed in the house at all.
This particular cat has never been allowed outdoors since he was found in the window well of his owener’s house as a tiny kitten. I’d have to acclimate him to the outdoors and figure out some way of installing a cat door. Unfotunately I live in Wisconsin where the houses do not lend themselves to cat doors — all of the entrances have storm doors, and the house is all brick. I do have a single door in my garage, but the door is steel. I don’t think it would be easy to cut a hole in it!
So, having an indoor cat means putting up with a litter box. If he’s a nice cat, it might be worth it. My last cat was a front de-clawed Rag Doll female that my husband found in my barn. She did not fare too well here and died a few years ago. I think she must have had kidney disease.
We accepted two 5 yr old blue-cream females that were going to be euthanized last spring. They were a bit traumatized - being taken from their original home (baby coming & they couldn’t deal with that & the cat), to the owner’s parent’s home where there was a cat-hating dog, and then to the Humane Society, where they were give two weeks to be adopted. But they are now part of the household (total of five cats) and very sweet and loving.
Good luck with your adoption!
