also see if you could hire one of the vet assistants to come over and medicate poor kitty.... some of my friends have done that for pilling and doing sub-qs..... there might be folks in local rescue groups who could help out, too.
i truly have found that most don't mind injectibles at all; i think the idea of the transdermal gel is an excellent suggestion--i've never done it, but certainly would if need be.
as i said, i've gotten incredibly good at pilling even the most difficult cases, but that was from lots of practice at the sanctuary--and seriously STUDYING how the sanctuary director was able to do it so successfully. it was always terribly depressing to walk into a room of 100 cats and have them all run away at medication time--but lots of good exercise! (i repeat my earlier comment, tho, that persians are the hardest to medicate..... luckily, as they get older, they tend to fight less--and they don't run as fast as some others, either....)
