  • Um, this really isn't a question, but you were unprepared if you didn't have a litter box before you brought the cat home. Putting the cat outside is cruel, if you can't handel it, bring it to a good shelter so someone can adopt it and take proper care of it.
  • If he's a rescue kitten, chances are there's something wrong with him, so give him a break. And if you're not prepared to deal with that, give him to someone who can. Do not put him outside. Go clean the spot with some pet deodorizer. Then grab yourself some "Kitten-Attract" cat litter. It contains an herb that helps attract the cat to the box instead of elsewhere. It's also very fine-grained and feels better on their little paws than regular litter. We had this problem with one of our adopted kittens and that litter worked wonders.
  • There isn't a question here but nonetheless here are some points to consider: You enabled the kitten to soil your carpet by not having the litter box before or when you brought it home and once you obtained the litter box, did you have the kitten watch you place it? That is how they learn where it is. While most kittens are litter trained by their mothers since yours is a rescue you need to consider that it might have come from neglectful circumstances so some memory refreshing and/or encouragement might be required. Some tips for this are to place the kitten in the litter box if you see it sniffing around, crouching or displaying any other suggestive behaviors that it needs to go, rewarding successful use and cleaning the litter box regularly as they dislike using filthy litter boxes. In any case, accidents will happen. You need patience. It could possibly also be a health problem, perhaps have the kitten examined by a vet. It's advisable regardless if you haven't already since this is a new pet and you probably don't know the full extent of where it's been.
