Cat smells of pee after cattery stay

Picked up our short haired v healthy tabby 2 days ago from cattery. The whole place stank of cat pee and she still stinks now. Any tips for how to clean off the smell other than waiting days for it to gradually disappear?

Stroke her with wet hands (wear gloves - ugh) or a wet cloth.

She will go off & wash her damp fur?

Ok thanks, just plain warm water best perhaps? Thanks

Can she cope with a bath?

My cat peed on himself on the way home from the vets a couple of weeks ago and he was surprisingly tolerant of a bath in the sink with puppy shampoo.

Before then I'd never have suggested bathing a cat but honestly he just sat there and purred Grin

Worth a try I guess! Thanks.Will give it a go but she is so nervous I think she’ll make a run for her ‘you can’t catch me’ spot on top of the wardrobe!

My old cat always smelt a bit off (sometimes absolutely vile) after a cattery stay. If I'm honest I just kept grooming her fur and using the odd pet wet wipe - she eventually went back to normal.
