Desperate to re-home my cats - help.

Post by LolaRuby3 »

I have two cats (sisters) who are four years old and I need to re-home.

Since the birth of my baby 14 months ago their behaviour completely changed and I hoped that as time passed and they adjusted to the new family member they would calm down but things are getting worse.

They are so unhappy here and it's not fair to them.

One of them keeps getting stress induced cycstitis and I spoke to my Vet about possibly having to re-home and she said that although it's not ideal nor is it fair to make my cats like in a stressful environment.

They used to be so loving and affectionate and now they are too scared to leave the upstairs bedroom. We only ever see them when our baby has gone to bed.

The main issue we have though is that they keep urinating EVERYWHERE. It's over our clothes, in our bags, over the carpet, in the bath, in the baby's cot and today I went to put the baby in his car seat and it was soaked with urine. We just can't cope anymore.

I have tried everything: they've had every type of cat litter tray and cat litter going, I have used Zyklene, the biscuits that are supposed to be calming (I can't remember their name now) and I have been using Feliway sprays and plug-ins and absolutely nothing is working.

We have just reached the end of the line.

I have tried Cat Protection but they won't take them. People have mentioned reforming them via Facebook/gumtree but I really don't want to do that - but I don't know what other option I have.

Can anyone help?
