    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I have two purebred cats I need to rehome. I am not going to lie, we are having trouble with them urinating all over the house. Both have been checked for UTI and I have tried every remedy every vet, groomer, expert, cat owner, etc has told me. Tried a new box, new litter, Feliway, etc. I have two options, cage them for life or rehome them with someone who may have better luck than I. I adopted both these as rescues, I have tried in vain to find their original breeders, as sometimes breeders will take back their own animals but cannot locate them.

The thing that kills me is this started over a year ago. My cousin, her 4 psycho kids, and 1 psycho cat moved in. The stress of them living there for nearly a year did it. Their cat sprayed all over the house, prompting my cats to do so, plus her kids and cat would terrorize my cats, especially the Persian. They finally were kicked out, but it didn't stop the urinating. I moved to a new house and they have destroyed the carpet, we tore up the carpet and now they are using the couch. I really don't want to pass my problem to someone else, but I don't see what else I can do. I am 3 months pregnant and the ammonia smell in my house is dangerous for everyone, especially my developing baby. Maybe someone here has had good luck with retraining cats or knows someone who can. I CANNOT ship. You MUST be local. I live 30 minutes north of Daytona Beach, willing to travel and meet you halfway from your town.

Satin: Sphynx, 6 years old, spayed and declawed. Good with cats, kids, and dogs. Loved to cuddle and be petted. INDOOR ONLY, outside will KILL her. She is a high maintenance, but still easy to care for. Bathed once a week in Kenetic Emu Oil Shampoo and ears cleaned as needed (as much as several times a week).

Lace: Persian, 5 years old, spayed. She is white with blue eyes, but she is NOT deaf. Good with kids, dogs, and cats. However, she is not a cuddly cat. She has never struck anyone with her claws or bit, but she will wiggle away from small children trying to hold her. She is shy with new people. She is use to being groomed and bathed. I give her lion cuts now and then. She doesn't like it, but never lashes out. She is a doll faced Persian, meaning her face is not pushed in like a Pekinese. The "normal" Persians with pushed in faces tend to have breathing problems. Lace does not, she plays and doesn't lose her breath. INDOOR ONLY, she has never been outside and frankly she is a bit of a blonde and I'd think she'd do something stupid that would get herself killed.

Can be adopted separate or together. I need them adopted ASAP. I really don't think he would but my boyfriend sounds ready to surrender them at the local shelter, which is a kill shelter. If you can, know someone who can, or know a no kill rescue who would adopt them, please contact me at 386-864-5116
 
I have a cat that will not tolerate other felines other wise I would def. take them. But just so you know the West Volusia Humane Society http://www.wvhumanesociety.com/ is a no kill shelter. Also if you can't get aperson to take them there is alway ARNI in Holly hill on mason ave. Some times they can help too. If you have to surrender the cats make sure that you give a donation because no kill shelters do not get federal funding. Good luck with your kitties.
 
Thank you Kelly!!! And I will most certainly donate. I am going to try and donate $200 to any rescue who takes them. $100 for each cat. I should be able to afford it.
 
You should also post this on the 'adoption' forum and also look for some exotic cat breed rescues I'm sure you can find a foster home somewhere and maybe someone with experience with the spraying problem. It's sad to see this happen due to a behavior problem caused by another cat (?) There must be a behaviorist out there who can help.
 
if your willing to ship the sphynx i can promise her a loving forever home e r a usda lic facility
 
I'm so sorry to hear about your troubles Crystal! Wish I could help out more. I know sometimes once they start spraying it can be a hard habit to break, esp with both of them doing in.

I cannot vouch for these rescues, but there are lots of pure breed resuce groups and they usually have wait lists for people looking to adopt (only know this because I had looked into adopting a sphynx before but ended up taking in some strays from where I work).

(I was part of the yahoo Sphynx Rescue Email List, I would suggest joining and posting about your kitty there, lots of great people on that email list)

Here's a CA persian rescue, they don't list any rescues in FL, but maybe if you contact them they can help direct you?
http://www.persiancats.org/

here's a persian rescue in the Atlanta area, maybe they can also help?

There's always petfinder but you'd have to do some serious screening of people that want to adopt.

good luck
