We plan on bringing our Dog and Cat when we move to the UK. Our cat was required to have her front claws removed for an apartment we used to rent, and we did it [reluctantly, but she's fine]. We do not allow her outside, so it wasn't a big deal. She was born in Colorado [where there are no fleas due to altitude], so she's ALLERGIC to fleas and going outside, even with treatment, usually means her getting bitten, having a reaction, losing her hair, and probably getting sick for a while until we get rid of them. It isn't pretty.
So I read that in the UK cats have a 'right' to roam and go outside, but is it required that we let her go out? In our case it's sort of cruel, plus she doesn't have claws :/
Also, I know it's not allowed to have your cat declawed, but can you bring a declawed cat into the UK? I can't find official rules.
Thanks for any help
