So. Barring a sudden and wondrous reversal of fortune, I cannot keep Toby any longer.

The vet describes his ideal situation as living in shelter (the specific example was a horse barn; he's very kindly checking with some people out in more rural areas) with the option to go outside; either a single pet or one of two cats; still on his special diet; and with enough close, regular, and attentive contact from humans that they will notice if he gets sick again.
If we had a garage, or a basement and a backyard, or even yardspace to set up a heated shed[2], I would not be doing this. But I've literally got no place to keep him, and since it would involve buying a house I can't afford to get him one.

He is, for all the problems he currently has, mellow and gentle and well-behaved. I want him to be happy. I just can't take care of him anymore.

If you can think of *anyplace* I might try to see if they can take him--outside of the clinics and the pet sanctuary and Friends of Abandoned Pets and the vet schools in Guelph and Montreal--please please please let me know.

[1] No. Everywhere. I've tried, I really have, but it is just not manageable any more.
[2] Looked at prices. Seriously not joking.
