Frances it sounds to me like this kitty needs to stay with you. At their age a change in ownership causes extreme stress and senior kitties can crash very quickly. I recommend talking with your vet about travel meds for kitty to make the move more comfortable. A friend of mine just drove two days across country with her cats and they did great! Do you feel this is something you can do?
Thank you for the advice! We will take him with us. Have a great day
