Older cat peeing outside litter box after move? Affordable vet care.

Question

Hello, I have an older cat named Jaguar. I do not know how old he is exactly but he's pretty old. And recently we just move to a new home, since we moved I noticed he's been peeing on things, not the litter box. We can't afford a visit to the vet and I just hoping that you can help me because my family threatening to put him out. Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Male | unneutered

Poor Jaguar! In an older cat like this, the most common cause of urinating in inappropriate places is a medical problem such as diabetes, hyperthyroidism, or chronic kidney disease. He may also have a bladder infection or bladder stones causing this issue. Many of these problems are quite treatable, but he would definitely need to see a vet in order to have some testing done and get a diagnosis first. If costs are an issue, you can check to see if there is a low-cost SPCA clinic in your area that could help, or a vet clinic that would accept payments. You could also apply online for Care Credit, which is a payment plan accepted by most vet practices: www.carecredit.com
