Ok, so we are finally fed up with this cat peeing and pooping in weird spots a couple times a week. We've done everything possible but she's done this for years. Ever since we got her at 9 months old she would pee in an open deep freeze or poop under a bed. We've tried every kind of litter, litter boxes, food, encouragement, you name it. So she has till next Friday to go. She will be going to a new home, either real or in the sky. I've asked friends but no one wants her, and who can blame them. I'm so tired of shampooing carpets and not leaving a jacket or even slippers around. She's peed on my slippers twice! If a friend leaves they're jacket on the couch, she pees on it, soaking it. She's healthy so there's no other reason other than neurological. She was abused as a kitten before we got her so who knows. Our son has agreed to put her down if no one can take her. He's fine with it now because our piece of mind and health are kind of important. He moved out a few months ago and he can't take her. I wonder how much it will cost to have her put down and cremated ac_umm We'll have a little ceremony and let her ashes go in the forest.
Take her to the SPCA and tell them you found her wandering around. She won't tattle on you.

You knew this day would come Annie. I lost my pet bunny this year. As silly as it may seem for a grown woman, I was really attached to that cute New Zealand white.
Get a new one?
We don't want to just drop her off at the spca because no one will adopt her I"m sure. She's too old with too many problems and I don't want her to suffer sitting in a cage for weeks until she's put down. I'd like for her to be held and painlessly put to sleep. I'm trying to get someone to want to take her home but so far no luck.
How old is she?

Will they put her down no charge?
She's 20 and I'm sure there is a cost to have her put down. They don't say on their spca website so I emailed them. I think there's one that puts them down and also cremates.
20!! Jesus she's old.

You don't need the cremation, just an humane way of putting her down. Find out how much it costs.
Ya, at 20 she won't have a chance being adopted. She's small and still cute but not gonna be enough when she pees and even poops in stupid places. I'm so tired of getting up and smelling cat pee and then hunting around to find it and then wash the carpet. Today I sat on my office chair and guess what? Yep she peed on it. She pees even where she sleeps. An inhumane way would be to put her to sleep via needle and then cremate her and spread her ashes in a forest. That way it will be a little easier on us and less guilt.

You should have no guilt for putting down a 20 year old cat with bladder and bowel issues. You've done all you can for her and she has lived a full happy life. I know it's hard but it's for the best.
Yep it is hard and thanks. I just hope I don't change my mind again and decide oh give her another chance. Nothing is going to change, she doesn't even know what's what really. If it wasn't for my kid having a low immune system I might consider keeping her but we just can't. The urine and poop can make her sick, especially if I don't find it and clean it right away. Always a surprise to find where and what she's done. She's lived a full loved life and I'm sure I'll cry as this will be my first time to put a cat down. I had a pet rat put down 25 years ago when he ate carpet and I cried over that. Ya, I know it was rat but he was so cute and effectionate lol
I'd have no issue putting down Renee, either.

Cat had a stroke? Weird.
Her right side of her face sags a little and her left lip, it's actually cute
Quote from: "Annie"
lol I dont think the cat likes it.
no but still cute
My sister was called to rescue Loretta Lynn. She was a Canadian Wild gosling that was left behind by its family as they crossed a busy street. Loretta had a limp. Poor thing. My sister helped put a stint on Loretta's limp leg and then took her to a wildlife habitat because she could not keep her. She fought the temptation to talk to Loretta further because goslings tend to get attached. Days later, Loretta did not survive. She was still too young to be left alone. We were heartbroken.
Sorry to hear about your cat, Annie. It sounds like she's not well.
Loretta Lynn.. lol

Call Mel?
To soon?
Do NOT call Mel! He's a bad shot.
:( Sorry again Annie, I remember the last thread about her. I wish i could help somehow.
It's frustrating....its' like she knows....now she's all loving and cuddle. We're gonna see if we can just give her away. She's not sick enough to be put down.
