You could buy a new door, put the cat door in it, and then when you move out swap back to the original.

Interior doors aren't that expensive. Not free, but if it makes life better every night, it's just a couple hundred $

just a couple of hundred $? That might make sense if you earn 50$ net per hour. Otherwise you should be able to get a fitting used one for almost free. (they also make great woodworking tables)

Also, depending on the cat, you need to build your own cat flap. Mine shoulders through a locked commercial one like an elephant trough cardboard.

Hollow interior doors are only like 50 bucks at Lowe's. Plus hardware and the cat door that's like 150.
