Is rehoming the best choice?

Help, I rescued this girl about a year ago, she is timid and one of my cats keeps terrorizing her -and everyone- she has claw marks and is slouching and flinching all the time. She gets stressed and pees the bed .She hides in my closet most of the time. There are 3 cats, I cant get more space, I cant "catify" the place either. Rehoming is not an issue she is very pretty, I just need to think what is best for her.

It's your decision, but it might be a good idea. My Mingo is a real scaredy cat, and after reading "10 Tips for Living with a Shy Cat" on this site, I've decided not to get another cat although I would like to. Mingo would probably too intimidated by the other cat to ever get along with him or her. Your cat may be happier in a single-cat home. Our humane society often lists a cat as an "only" cat, and that's probably the reason.

Its just a bad personality clash, she doesnt play anymore and Im afraid the other cat will hurt her badly.

Also to clarify she and the other cat get along great Im torned about separating these two

When you brought her to live with you, did you do any cat to cat introductions?  If not that may be the reason.  As you know cats are very territorial.  Bringing in a new cat can be quite the challenge.  If cats are not properly introduced, they may not learn how to coexist. 

First off, are all cats spayed/neutered? 

Do you have any vertical space for the cats to get up and away from each other?  A cat tree would work well.  Yet with 3 cats, you may need more than one.

Have you tried Feliway or Composure calming treats/liquid?

Here are some articles on cat to cat introductions and a video too.  It is never too late to start the process over.  It would just require keeping the new cat mostly separated from the other two during this time.

Ill try feliway and thundershirt at night, thanks for the sugestion! And yes they were properly introduced; my siamese/tabby mix is just a bit of a jerk, theyre not hissing and clawing at eachother as much as having energy spurs

I had very good luck using Composure liquid max when I had two cats that did not get along well.  I used the Feliway in conjunction.

Just to clarify, are all cats spayed/neutered?
