I've decided to keep the kittens, my parents have agreed to help me get veterinary care for them. I'm also contemplating keeping her inside for the remainder of her pregnancy to avoid stress and sickness until I CAN get her vaccinated. My problem now is that she won't use the litter box. She never did, which is why she was indoor/outdoor. Because she wouldn't use a box. She'll sneak in the livingroom and poop or pee in a corner before she'll use a litter box, and I don't know what to do about this.

Keep her in a small room with several litter trays, there are also cat attract litters available to help with retraining

The perhaps best of them is "Dr Elseys cat attract litter".  Google on them,  they are also often mentioned in our forums. Not least - in Ferals forum, as many cats there need litter training as part of fostering.

Good luck!

Stefan you are stealing my advice!!!! 


Yes, Dr. Elsey's is amazing. Close her in a smaller area with a few boxes with this litter and she should start using it. Since it sounds like she likes corners that's where I would put the boxes. Also, maybe don't clean them for a day so she can get her scent good and in there. Have a good urine removal (like Nature's Miracle) on hand in case she does have an "accident." If you can put her in a bathroom or somewhere else with minimal carpet that would be best, just make sure you give her a bed or some blankets to snuggle up in.

Good luck!
