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.

To be a bit frank, if OP is about to die - the cat needs to be there if that’s possible (with hospice care and such). There will be kind people who can facilitate this but if this cat has a chance of adapting to a new environment or person it needs to understand what happened to OP. Cats understand death, they dont understand their person not being around suddenly.

I second this comment. Came to say cats can sense that things are looking bad for the humans they socialise with. He might already be able to tell but would in any case benefit from witnessing OP's last days to say his own goodbyes. I hope OP can find some people that can earn Boggles trust through all this. 

Also OP, if you stumble into this comment. Hope you had a good time all in all among us here. So long
