The key here may be the litterbox. Perhaps Jenny is feeling "territorial" about that. Continue to feed her, but see if your significant other will start cleaning the box again.

Jenny is probably stressed a bit from all the changes. It is better to just let the cat work it out without trying to approach or be friendly. You'll have to explain to your son that the kitty is shy and to not approach her even if he wants to pet and cuddle her.

Sometimes sitting in the same room with the cat, but doing something else like reading and not making eye contact can help a shy cat. You just quietly toss a treat in her direction every few minutes, but don't look at her. Try this for about fifteen minutes a day. Again, don't speak to her or look at her. Be very "involved" with doing something else.

Also a Comfort Zone with Feliway might help Jenny.

At this time don't get another animal.

Smile, it will make them wonder what you are up to!
