As I suggested earlier on this thread, put a litter tray and his food and water in your spare bedroom and let him spend the night there. Have you contacted local vets to see if anyone is missing a kitten? Often missing animals are reported to vets. A vet may also offer to scan him for you to see if he is microchipped. Make a list of all rescue organisations in your area who will take in cats, and phone them all to see if they have any space. Don't give up if the first few you call have no room. |

I have an advert on with all my vets and hes not microchipped either, and i have adverts on with many websites in the area too. i'm sorry i'm just not surving very well on such little sleep and with a husband who's not happy about it all either. I'll feel better after a bottle of wine i think |

They do need their own room to begin with and then by giving them access to larger areas they become accustomed to the space. Put more than one litter tray out (one downstairs and one up) if not able to restrict to one room. Leave your door closed however hard it is to listen to it howling and scratching as the more you open the door the more it will get the message that you will do what it wants eventually. Buy some ear plugs, I did. (they come alive of a night, kittens not ear plugs!!) Put toys in the hall or landing and possibly in other rooms with treats in so it can play with them, and hunt through the night. provide a bed to sleep in a warm place (under a radiator). If all else fails you will have to lock it into the bathroom. Put the toilet seat down, remove your shower curtain, put food and litter tray in and make sure taps are tighly fastened. It's the only way for him to realise nighttime is for sleeping. Mine took a couple of months unfortunately (sorry) |

Claudia, it was really good of you to take him in on Fireworks night and I understand how tired and frustrated you are. The kitten is a baby and if he was also a stray then he is overjoyed to be with you and probably doesn't want to be separated from you - hence the refusing to be out of the room. If you put him in the spare room, with his toys, tray and food/water he will be fine - no reason for him not to use the tray since he has used it already. You did a good thing and if you wanted to persevere, he will settle down but takes time and patience. There are also things he needs from you and that cost - innoculations, neutering, worming, food. You've mentioned already that you can't afford it and also you don't really want to keep him. That really is fair enough - not everyone is a cat person. You did what you could but now you need to find somewhere for him to go. The Cat's protection league is probably your best bet. Find where your local one is and then arrange to take him there. Please don't just put him out as he won't understand and looks like it will have happened to him twice They will find him a good home. |
