Please don't take your cat to the pound. She is most likely peeing because of a urinary infection. Surely you can talk to the vet about a payment plan if he/she understands that you will have to relinquish her if she continues.

If the problem is behavioral there are still lots of things to do:

You can take steps to retrain the kitten to the box. Basically you need to confine the cat to a room like a bathroom with only food, water, bedding and the litterbox. As she begins to use the litterbox consistantly you can expand her space. There is more information at this link:

You need to thoroughly deodorize wherever the cat has been peeing. Nature's Miracle is highly recommended as is Simple Green. It is the smell of the "accidents" that causes a cat to reuse the place.

Check into using Feliway, a spray that mimics the happy scent cats leave when they rub their check against something. You can get it from your vet or from Cat Faeries at http://www.catfaeries.com
If you visit the website, you will see a phone number that you can call and for a fee discuss your cat's problems with someone. The person who does this is very knowlegeable and it may be worth the $$ for you. Feliway is also available in most large pet supply stores. There is also a plug-in with Feliway that can help.

Finally, if all else fails, ask you vet about using an antianxiety medication such as Buspar or Prozac. These very often work, however the decision to prescribe them will rest solely with your veterinarian who will be able to monitor the dosage and side effects.
