The Paw Project is featuring their directors and sharing our stories of advocacy. Today was my turn. It's lovely to see the comments and know one is making an impact but I truly wish we could wrap this up and be done with this barbaric practice.
MEET INGRID JOHNSON. Ingrid is the Co-Director of The Paw Project-Georgia, working to end the cruel practice of declawing cats, AND is a Certified Cat Behavior Consultant (CCBC).
Ingrid owns and operates Fundamentally Feline, providing consultations worldwide for clients experiencing behavior challenges with their cats.
If that's not enough work for one person, she is also the Hospital Manager, tech, and groomer at Paws Whiskers & Claws, The Feline Hospital, a cat-only veterinary hospital in Marietta, GA that has been a NO DECLAW facility since it opened its doors in 1999. Practicing what they preach, Ingrid and the clinic offer nail trims at no charge. The clinic stocks Ingrid's scratching products, sells the best nail trimmers, teaches clients how to trim nails, and actively advocates against this barbaric procedure.
Ingrid has created a series of educational How-To videos of her own, viewable on Fundamentally Feline’s website (https://www.fundamentallyfeline.com/) and YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/). Ingrid regularly gives interviews and offers her expertise for various media outlets.
