We do not take
cats in from the public (our mission is the
trapping, sterilizing and releasing of
free-roaming cats) we can give you information
and resources to help you find a solution.
We have a few
suggestions, hopefully something you haven't
tried before.
First, your cat needs a thorough veterinary
exam.
Sometimes cats
take a dislike to a certain type of litter,
changing that may help. Sometimes de-clawed cats
have this behavior because they don't like the
feel of litter on their bare paws.
If you have other
cats, that may be a factor; some cats don't like
"sharing" a potty. Make sure there is at least
one box for every two cats, and one on each
floor of your home.
Move the litter box near the spot where the cat
has been going potty, once the cat is
re-established using the litter box, you may
gradually move it to an area more acceptable to
you.
If you recently
moved, or had another major change in your
household, the cat could be reacting to the
disturbance.
Try confining him
to a bathroom or crate for a while. This way
your cat can be re-trained to only do business
in the litter box!
Keep an eye on your cats food, too...make sure
you are feeding a quality food, and providing
plenty of fresh drinking water. Re-circulating
water dishes can be helpful in getting your pet
to drink more.
He may need
more amusements, and this could be an attempt to
get your attention...
