I haven't read your sitch but I wanted to say I'm sorry you find yourself here. I understand your frustration with the job search but keep at it. Reach out to folks on LinkedIn, friends, acquaintances, etc. Something will pop! I know it sounds crazy, but some companies nowadays view it as an odd thing when someone works at a company for so long. Crazy, right?
I'm so sorry about your cat. It sounds like the cat had a great life and you were very compassionate at the end. And MLC or no MLC, I realized years ago that you can tell a lot about a person by how they treat animals and the waitstaff.
Hang in there!
