Rehoming. Guilt.

I had a dilemma but now it's been decided.

For the past month on my off days I would go home and cry and worry about rehoming my 5 year old cat. His whole life I've let him roam outside and only recently I made him indoors because he kept getting into these cat fights that took a dip in my finances. Where I live is not ideal for a human being let alone my fur baby. No windows no ventilation except the tower fan I have on 247 for him.

I am looking to make a move in the future (a year from now, hopefully sooner) but the way things are right now I see this as me holding him hostage in my room, animal abuse. I had made a promise to myself that I'd take care of my baby no matter what but here I am at a crossroad. He's extremely unhappy which makes ME unhappy because I want him to have a better life, a place where he can actually play and soak in the sun through a goddamn window. But the worse part is he might be put down because everywhere I've called shelters are at full capacity, will they even try to help rehome him idk. But I know our time is coming where I have to part ways with him, the more I contemplate the more I'm just prolonging the situation. Even when I land a full time job I would feel even more guilty. I want to give him the chance to go to a good home. At least try.
