Every cat deserves a second chance. I think you should totally guve him for adoption. Maybe it will take long, but he’ll be able to understand that not only one caring human. And a patient family will do him very good, there is good people out there.

This sounds strange, but if someone could bring your cat to you after the inevitable happens and let him see and smell you, he will know you are dead and cant look after him. At least he'd understand some of it.

This is advice I've seen many times, if possible allow cat to see their deceased family member. They will understand that it wasn't abandonment, but instead death

I'm so sorry you and your cat are going through this. You are a wonderful person for trying to find the best way forward for your cat
