You are probably preaching to the converted on here.

It's illegal in my country unless for deep-seated nail bed infections that
don't respond to any other treatment. I've never seen a declawed cat.

My suggestion is that if any of you use a vet that encourages
spaying/neutering and declawing at the same time, you ask why that vet
thinks it's acceptable and why they suggest it.
I'd be banned from my vet's surgery forever if I asked him to declaw a cat
to protect my furniture or in case they ever scratched me. He'd think I
was mad.
Vets need to stop offering this.

I stopped using my (otherwise caring) vet in Pasadena CA when I
discovered that the "laser surgery" he advertised was for declawing!
Cendrillon had been declawed before I adopted her (but I was hardly
going to refuse to adopt an abandoned cat because of that). So far as
the spaying or neutering at the same time as the claw surgery goes - I'd
had her a week when she came in heat!
