I too struggled with quality of life with my cat. Had her for my whole childhood and she was eighteen years old before I had to put her down. It's tough to make that decision. I still held on a few more months than I should have, in hindsight.
So, so glad he went looking and found her. She needs to lean on somebody right now. I know I needed my dad to go with me when I put my cat down and I went the next year with my mom when she put down hers. In the same vein, I've gone with my best friend when she had to surrender her dog because she was moving to where she couldn't keep her. This is just one of those things you shouldn't have to do alone.
