*AGREEMENT NOT TO DECLAW CATS:
I agree that I will not ever have declawed, or allow the declawing of, the cat that I adopt from Jefferson County Humane Society. I understand that this is a painful and unnecessary mutilation of the cat that could result in chronic paw and back pain, infection, inability to walk properly, and other physical ailments, inability to protect itself, as well as psychological problems that could result in the cat exhibiting behavior such as urinating outside the box, biting, fearfulness, anti-sociability, and aggressiveness.

I agree that if I breach the terms of this agreement that ownership of the cat will immediately revert to JCHS and that JCHS has the right to reclaim possession of the cat. In addition, JCHS and I agree that, as it is difficult to
predict the exact costs that JCHS will incur from caring for the declawed cat, I will be obligated to pay JCHS liquidated damages of $500, plus the cost of all veterinary care needed to deal with problems resulting from the declawing, as well as all attorney fees and court cost that are incurred in enforcing this agreement.
