This probably the most difficult decision I've ever had to make and it's taken me a year to get to this point.
I have a household with a Doberman, two domestic cats (male/female) that were raised together and a bengal. We adopted the bengal (unfortunately declawed by previous owner) from a kill shelter in the NJ area, we have a territorial/aggressive male cat that is clawed and immediately from the get-go these two did not get along, we figured it would pass, but unfortunately over the past two years we've had the bengal, it's only gotten worse, both our male and female cat now gang up on him on a fairly regular basis.
We've had issues with him peeing outside of his litter box as well, it happens maybe once a month, except in the summer it seems to happen a couple of times a month. I suspect at some point he was allowed outdoors, when the weather is warmer, he spends most of his time begging to go outside, but we live in a densely populated suburban area, so not willing to do that. We have taken him to the vet on several occasions, he's free from any issues, we've tried everything you could possibly imagine to stop this behavior, beep pads, pheromones, prozac, more litter boxes, different litter boxes. The vet has chalked it up to stress from the other two cats, they occasionally attack him when he's coming out of the liter box. after this diagnosis we went down the prozac route, he's a smart cat and figured it out two days later and wouldn't take them anymore.
So with all that said, I've came to the decision, mainly in the best interest of cat to find him a new home, so he can live in peace. We care immensely about this little guy, we want him to go to a good home, he would love to find an owner who lives in an area where he can go outside!
We will insist on rehoming assistance (lot's of food and treats he likes at the bare minimum).
