Pet Removal Right Away

I bought my daughter some really nice and EXPENSIVE leather dress shoes. For some strange reason my cat didn’t like them and he urinated inside of them.
He is neutered, I have no clue why he decided to do it. That is not really the point though. I need to get the smell out of these shoes!
I’ve tried sprinkling salt and baking powder inside as I heard that they soak up odors. It didn’t work, they still reek to high heaven.
Is there something else I can try or do I need to buy a pet odor remover? Obviously I can’t soak the shoes in anything as that will ruin them. But, I need something that will completely remove the odor as I don’t want her wearing them and all of a sudden the smell of cat urine comes out…ughhh.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!
Getting rid of the cat is not going to help the shoes.
And I doubt I can return urine soaked shoes to the store!

I have a couple of suggestions. First, get some Nature’s Miracle from the pet store. This is an enzyme that will break down the bacteria that comes from urine and causes the smell. Soak a rag with the Nature’s Miracle and insert it into the shoe. Don’t make it dripping wet, just damp. Leave it inside the shoes for an hour or so. This should remove enough of the surface bacteria so that when she puts her foot into the shoes the heat of her feet don’t reactivate the bacteria, thus making the smell reoccur.

Next, buy some activated charcoal and Borax. Put the shoes in a cardboard box that has a lid (a shoe box would work). Sprinkle Borax in the bottom of the box, maybe 1/2 inch thick. Put the activated charcoal in a plastic container inside the box with the shoes. Put a rubber band around the box and leave it sit for 3-5 days, maybe even a week, undisturbed. Activated charcoal absorbs smells and because leather breathes it should pull out the odor from the leather. Borax works well also to remove the smell of urine, so you are doing double duty smell control. I don’t think that it would even hurt the shoes to fill them with some borax. Good luck, this worked on a very expensive Coach purse that my neighbor’s cat sprayed and I filled the purse up with Borax without damaging the fine leather.

Yes, I’ve heard that Natures’ Miracle is good.

How well does this stuff work? I got it at Walmart for 5-6$ and wanted to know if anyone else has used this for pet urine manly cat urine in my case? I am hoping it works!

It has a great smell and it has the ingredients for the stuff needed to get rid of the smell and urine but I was just wanting to know how well it works and if others have used it?

Thanks )
I used it on a few places and I am happy to say it is working.The urine smell is fading away as it dry’s like it says on the bottle.

So far it’s a great product!
Also it only has a light fragrance so you can tell it don’t just cover it up cause when I put it on you smell it alittle still but today (over night) the smell is alot better and it has worked better than my other ideas I’ve tryed.

Hi there…consider using Nature’s Miracle Just for Cats:

It’s an enzymatic neutralizer which works by breaking down urine proteins by thoroughly soaking the areas affected and allowing to air dry. Repeated applications are necessary for heavily soiled areas.

We’ve tested nearly all enzyme neutralizers available in the marketplace for our exotic cats which have stronger urine than domestic cats and found that Nature’s Miracle Just for Cats has always worked the best.

The otc stuff didn’t work and the cat keeps peeing in the same spot.

You get the smell out by throwing the carpet out…really…if you clean it cat will do business on it again and if you get another pet…it will do the same….

I have a 2 yr old pomeranian and she piddles on the carpet when we are sleeping. She tends to gorge herself with water at night as if she’ll never drink again. By the time we wake up in the morning there is a new DRY stain on my carpet. I’ve started to put her water up in the evening to limit her water drinking at night. Now we will be bringing home a 4 month old puppy soon and i don’t want him to smell her urine and think that he should pee there too. I’ve shampooed my carpet and used Bissel pet odor and stain remover but it doesn’t quite seem to get it completely out.

Pour this stuff called approach right on the stain. It will help get rid of the stain, but more importantly it will completely eliminate the odor (which is what triggers the dogs to pee there).

We had the exact same problem with our dog Sophie when we were housebreaking her. Pour the stuff on the stain, pour it on your carpet cleaners and spray the air to get rid of the odor in the air.

there are no harsh chemicals (or any chemicals in fact) so if the dogs sniff it or lick the spot it wont’ hurt them at all.

Worked on my dog like a charm. Should be easy to use.

Good luck!

recently purchased – home has ‘wet’ looking hardwoods where cats have pee’d their hearts out for lawd knows how long.
the stink is horrible and old.
will this product work on old stink? no carpets – only hardwoods. HELP!! i gotta know what to do to get rid of this stink!
has anyone actually used Natures Miracle on old pet funk and had it work on saturated pee’d up hardwoods?

NM is a great product but nothing is going to cure that problem except sanding them down.

the urine has saturated down God knows how far into the wood – this may not be a diy job. you might want to consult with one of those companies that do cleaning after fires etc

Sorry, this isn’t a question, but a testimonial. We have a 16 year old cat who has developed some trouble with spraying the past year. (She has been spayed and never had problems until recently…) We love her more than our carpets, and I’ve been trying everything to make this situation more durable for us, but until this weekend, nothing seemed to make any difference.

If you have a pet odor problem, then here’s something that should help: Get a blacklight (Petsmart calls it a Stink finder, but you can get a larger light for less money at Walmart) and use that to locate the areas where your cat has urinated or sprayed. Then purchase a productc alled PETZYME Cat Stain & Odor Remover (We got ours from Petsmart), and pour generously over the affected areas. (Remember, you want to allow enough product to soak the padding underneath the carpet and spread to the same underlying areas the urine did.) It took care of the odor, and didn’t affect the color of our carpet. Good luck
Thank you for your suggestion – she has been to the vets repeatedly, and the problem is twofold. There is some age-related kidney problems, but it’s also a personality issue. We have four other cats, and she doesn’t always tolerate them as well as she used to. (With so many cats, you can see why I was so excited to find this products!)

Thanks for that information. Has your 16 yr old cat been checked recently by a vet? Her urination problem could be related to an infection or other urinary irritation.

I have a 22 yr old cat who always goes to a box to pee. She drinks tons of water and pees four to five times a day. She has no tail and sometimes does not get the rear end all the way in the box so I put a thick pad of newspaper under the boxes and that absorbs the excess urine.
