I'm sorry you have to give up Catori! I can imagine this must be very hard for you. I'd find a local cat rescue, see if you can find her a home on social media, or take her into the SPCA. You may see if a friend or family member could take her. There was no question attached to your post, so I'm not sure if my answer has helped you or not. If you still have a question that I haven't answered, I would post again. Best of luck.
