Poor guy. It could be that Cocoa simply has a urinary tract infection or another condition called feline lower urinary tract disease. Before you decide to give him away, I would consider taking him in to your vet for a urine test. This is likely something that is treatable if it is one of the conditions mentioned above. Here is more information on FLUTD (feline lower urinary tract disease) --> https://veterinarypartner.vin.com/default.aspx?pid=19239&id=4951487 I hope that you are able to diagnose Cocoa's underlying condition so that you can help him stop having accidents in the home soon. Best of luck and take care!
