O dear. This isn't your fault but it is the worst possible time of the year to be trying to rehome an adult cat and oldies are always difficult. The rescue centres have the annual kitten influx (since people seem to be able to sell moggies for silly prices, I haven't worked out how rescue centres end up with kittens at all, but they do), people want to dump cats because they don't want to pay for a cattery, and then on top of that nobody wants to home a cat when they are about to go on holiday themselves. It's a "triple whammy".
