Rabbit based foods are a little more difficult to come across. The only rabbit based diets I have ever found have been novel protein diets formulated for adult cats, comparable to the Royal Canin variety he has been eating. It may be worth trying a few different flavors of canned senior foods to see if he finds any of them palatable. Worst case scenario, you can also find a dry senior diet (again, Hill's Science Diet, Purina ProPlan, Royal Canin, or Purina One) that he will tolerate and mix it with the rabbit and pea food regularly. Here are a few links to different canned senior cat diets available: http://www.hillspet.com/en/us/products/sd-feline-senior-11-plus-healthy-cuisine-tuna-and-carrot-med-stew-canned https://www.proplan.com/cats/products/focus-adult-11plus-chicken-beef-entree-classic https://www.proplan.com/cats/products/focus-adult-11plus-salmon-tuna-entree-classic https://www.royalcanin.com/products/royal-canin-feline-health-nutrition-aging-12-canned-cat-food/4082 I hope this helps and that all goes well for Tony!
