Is it a male or female? Watch out if it is a female that it doesn't spray in your house if she isn't fixed. I wouldn't declaw the cat since it is primarily an outdoor cat and you are not sure is the cat will even like being indoors. My suggestion is to maybe clear out a room in your house and try the cat in the room. When you bring a cat in a house for the first time it frightens them since it is so big and different. Try the cat with some scratching posts. Both of my cats have claws and though it is kind of hard to get them to learn to stop scratching furniture, they eventually do. Declawing a cat is pretty inhumane. I declawed a cat I had years ago and it was sad when he was trying to adjust not having claws. Plus, if they don't have claws you have to make sure they don't slip out or they will get their ass kicked by another cat.
