I have a cat with a behavioral problem. She will not use her litter box
no matter how often I clean it, and is peeing all over rugs, furniture,
etc.

Are there any organizations in Maryland that will take problem cats? I
do not want to put her down, but she is destroying my house.

Thanks in advance

Hi Java,

Is this a new issue with this cat? Have you had her checked by a vet
for urinary problems/diabetes, etc? Have there been any recent changes
in the household (new member, new furniture, illness, stress, etc.)?
There is a product called Feliway that can help with urinary issues
such as this, and also assists w/addition of new kitties. You can do a
Google search for sites that sell it online, or I've heard it's
available at Petco/Petsmart. I was having silimar problems when I lost
one cat and added another, but Feliway helped (I even saw an ad for it
to the right of your post). Also, I recently added another cat, and
had to borrow a large cat condo to keep her in from a local cat
sanctuary ($150 deposit). It's about 48"/32"/22" and I used it to
separate the new cat, since I don't have an extra room to keep her in.
If you feel that you absolutely MUST give the cat away, please do a
Google search for no-kill shelters in your area and contact one. Hope
this helps.

I'm taking her to the vet today and we'll see what the tests are. She's
been doing this forever, unfortunately. Both 1 and 2.

Ditto on urine testing. I had a big old orange tomcat who sprayed for years
even after I had him neutered. When I finally got him tested his urine ph
was way off so he's on 250 a day of vitamin C and behaving very much
better.

Did he take to the box once the urinary tract problems were straightened out
or had he established a habit that needed to be changed as well?

My vet has told me that if the cat associates pain with a litterbox, it
will be avoided. If the cat has an infection or a stone causing pain
with voiding, or constipation or blockage causing pain with defecation,
the cat will try any new place in hopes of not being hurt while
depositing.
