Re: Advice on Rehoming
We have rehomed two animals due to children. Both we had before kids/ Our cat was horribly miserable and refused to come out of the basement where we kept her litter because because he was afraid of our children :bheart my sister took her.
Our dog nipped at our son and my cousin took her. I don't have advice as I didn't have to do any research or much networking but will be praying for you. it was so so hard. :pray4 |

We literally have zero places we could put a second litter box :( We live in a townhome, and space is already super limited, and KO goes in every other room except DH's office :( When we rented a house, we were able to have two litter boxes (but we also had two cats at the time). We can try to clean twice a day, but doing it once a day is already a struggle. Maybe Dh and I can work something out, though. I'm :shrug about online backlash, tbh; I have no qualms unfollowing and blocking people who terrorize me. Thanks for the ideas! Hopefully something helps while we look for a home for her :heart ---------- Post added at 09:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:19 PM ---------- Quote:

DH doesn't want to try meds. We're going to have to rehome her regardless (his allergies play into all of this, too...they're bad, y'all). So what the point in meds? <-- his words. This whole thing is so hard. I feel sick over it. |

My husband would probably feel the same way about the meds, if rehoming was the definite plan. But if you’re not able to immediately rehome her (like rescues won’t take her and you don’t want to take her to the pound) meds might offer some relief for the behavioral symptoms that are bothering you, in the meantime. It’s a tough situation all around. And I’m sure the allergies make it that much harder. I hope you find a great home for her soon. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

The no-kill shelter is our backup back up plan. |

Re: Advice on Rehoming
Why have you not yet made her an indoor/outdoor cat?
I agree, tell your vet she needs a home without small children. Also, can put an add on Craigslist or your local FB animal page. If none of that works, then take her to the no kill shelter with a donation. You've done lots. I would not tolerate a cat peeing/pooping outside the box, they'd get booted out. |
Re: Advice on Rehoming
We took 2 cats rehomed from people we know from our children's school. The mother's allergies got to a point where she couldn't take it. I am sorry if people give you a hard time. I totally understand that sometimes you have to rehome for a reason like that, that it is not working for your family. I hope you are able to find a good home for the cat soon.

The pooping outside the box is literally daily. I can't remember the last time she pooped in her box. It's been at LEAST a year and I think longer :sigh Quote:

Re: Advice on Rehoming
Craigslist is not a good option. I believe they stopped allowing live animals to be listed due to animals that we're "adopted" getting used for horrible purposes (medical research, bait for fighting animals). If the no kill shelter won't take her, it would be kinder to humanely euthanize with you there.

Re: Advice on Rehoming
I hope the trial basis works out. :hug
We had to do the same thing - I had two 6yo cats I adopted as kittens when I was single. I loved them so much. But as our lives changed... I got married, we moved several times, then the baby came along at the same time as us buying a house and moving yet again... It was too much. We made it 16 months after DD1 was born. Same reasons as you, except the cats didn't limit it to the room where the litter box was. For me, the deciding factor was when I found a huge puddle in DD1's room where she had been crawling earlier that day. My parents were willing to take the cats, thankfully, though they ended up putting one of them down about 2 years later (she never "recovered"). The other cat is now living with my sister at an old age of 14. :-) Anyway, just wanted to say lots of hugs. It's such a hard decision and I understand how stressful it is. I don't regret rehoming my cats at all, and I do think they were happier after. |
Re: Advice on Rehoming
Kitty was successfully rehomed to a friend who lives nearby and he said we can visit whenever we want. Hopefully the transition goes ok with his other (male) pets! Thanks for all your advice!
