Uhm... I would suggest trying getting him his own scratcher. Also, look where he likes to scratch, and then put the scratcher near that.
You can also try introducing him to his new scratcher by keeping him confined in a small area for a day or two where it is his only option for scratching... once he's used it, he's more likely to keep using it when you let him back out.
If that doesn't work, you might try consulting with an animal behaviorist... most humane societies employ them to do behavioral screenings on new intakes (to make sure the animal is not a danger to the public), and if you ask will often give you a free consultation with them about your animal's behavior problems, particularly if the animal is a foster.
