@Monique you did a lot more than most people would have done(I have several friends heavily involved with animal rescue and I can just about guarantee I'd have a record as a violent felon if I encountered some of the people that they have told me about). We brought an older male into our house as a companion for our 16+ yr old female(Spooky) after our dog passed but they fought terribly and we had to keep the male separated until Spooky passed, a year or so later. We also had to give up another cat because he wasn't getting along with our others so was terrified, miserable and not using the litter pan. It turned out he had medical issues our(former) vet missed/neglected that were contributing to the behavior but he was still happier in his new home both before and after the issues were resolved. I still feel guilty but I know he is in a better environment. We currently have a total of 5 that, amazingly, all get along great.
