How can I get rid of the cat urine odor so that I can refinish and stain the wood? I'm really having trouble with this.

You do not want to hear this! If there is cat or dog urine soaked into the wood floor, there is very little you can do and, even trying several methods, will most probably need to either deep sand the wood to below the urine stain or replace the area completely. We had a horrible dog urine problem in a house we purchased when the windows were wide open for the summer breeze. After we closed the windows, the stench made us gag! Ended up replacing most of the house floors as urine had soaked into most of the house.
Good Luck!!!
The always helpful site below will provide what possibilities are available and will fully explain each attack. If you are not sure where the urine is, borrow or buy a ultraviolet light; it will show the patches of cat urine:

My Dad was working with the Housing Authority in California. He found something that works and that you can buy. I have several cats and as they age they have had accidents on the carpet, which soaks to the hardwood floors. I live in a little town in Oklahoma and I went to a small Janitorial supply store here and they actually had what I was looking for Enzyme D. It wasn't expensive, $5.00 a bottle and they gave me a free sprayer head. I spayed it in some areas and others I had to soak the floors with it. It worked no cat urine smell.
