One option is buying a door the same size as an existing door
in your apartment, installing a pet door in it and replacing
the apartment's door with your door (until you move, then you
can replace your door with the apartment's door.

Another simple solution is to put the pet food and litter box
some place high enough that your son cannot get to them. If
you do this, consider that he is going to be able to do some
climbing.

Good luck!
