The cat wee'd on the baby gym so now she's got to go...

The cat that is.

Our cat is quite a ice cat generally, gentle no scramming etc. she was a stray that found us 4 years ago and fools that we are we fed her ( roast beef fgs) ! We've paid a fortune in inoculations and kennel fees for a cat that we didn't want and I'm not even a cat person.

She's ruined a few things in the house but I can cope with that until today when she wee'd in the baby gym totally soaking it yuk yuk yuk! So now I want her go and I don't want to dump her with the RSPCA so does anyone know of any organisations that rehome cats. She's inoculated, spayed and wormed and I'm happy to give a golden handshake to whoever will have her. We I've in s Wales so preferably somewhere relatively easy to get to...

You really think that it would be better to ignore all stray cats, no matter how pitiful their condition, rather than try out keeping one without knowing 100% sure that you would keep it under all possible circumstances forever and ever?

OP says she has taken it for jabs so presumably vet has checked it for microchips?

Is there any update on this? Did the cat go to a new home or do you still have her?

If you still have her and you really want rid, then please don't just give the cat away for free. There are people out there who will take 'free' animals (not just dogs) to use as bait for working/fighting dogs. Always do a home check when selling an animal, and if you don't feel comfortable taking £25 (or whatever) for an ex-stray, give the money to Cats Protection.

I have a hard time understanding why you'd want to get rid after 4 years, and would echo earlier advice about checking with the vet that it's not medical, and also getting a Feliway plug in in case it's a psychological thing. But it's up to you, if you've decided to get rid of your cat, please do so carefully.

It's now 2019 but I saw some ppl. say cat may have medical issues. OMG. cats spraying is usually stress. Even mild stress or confusion of new addition.. Confused where she now sits in the picture. In my area cats are required by council not to stray onto neighbours' property. So are kept inside if you don't want a neighbour possum trapping your cat or phoning council. Or live in cat enclosures &/or with cat doors. Maybe cat was allowed too close to baby's territory.

I’m really upset to read that the OP was willing to rehome her cat of 4years because of one misdemeanour. I realise the post was from a few years ago but I just had to respond.
The poor cat obviously had a physical or behavioural issue, possibly linked to the arrival of a new baby.
How cruel and uncaring to just dismiss the poor cat as an inconvenience. With a bit of love, patience and maybe help from a vet, I’m sure the cat could have been successfully treated/trained not to wee where it shouldn’t.
Obviously the OP just couldn’t be bothered..shame on her!

Unfortunately, it's something pets sometimes do and especially in a cat's case she could be stressed, have cystitis or an infection. Regardless of whether you keep her longterm, the kindest thing you could do for her is to rule one of these scenarios out.

I think it's sad if you get rid of her for this reason. She's had a home for four years, where she's been looked after. You have to decide whether you enjoy her love and company. Cats Protection or a local Animal Shelter may be another option if a cat really isn't for you.
