I just emailed a local rescue about what sounds like a really wonderful young boy kitty. He's kind of goofy-looking, and has only one eye. Cross your fingers

I'm glad you're doing this, both for the kitty's sake and your own. No-one can take her place, but someone else who needs you, who can be Fish's friend, and who can be a new friend for you, that would be a great thing.
Here's hoping it all goes well, and that you get a new "roommate". :)
Best of luck with the new kitty -- sounds like you're doing the right thing! And Fish will. No doubt be happy once things settle down. BTW how did she get the name??
She was an outdoor stray in a neighborhood where we had had many outdoor strays go passing through. They didn't try to adopt us, but we'd put food out for them sometimes, and they got names if we saw them enough. Always really casual, often silly names. Shy and Whisper and Two-By-Four and so on. So we started calling her Fish for lack of anything better to call her, and it wound up sticking after she walked into the house and said "I live here now!" and would not take no for an answer. Normally I give my cats more elaborate names, but this time the nickname stuck.
We called her that initially because she's gray on top, white on the bottom, she circles like a shark, and she bites ("The Fish is really bitin' today!").
It did drive me to the conclusion that from now on all of my cats are going to have easy to spell names based on real words, so that the vet techs won't have the problems they had with, say, "Tazendra."
We named our "not quite a shepard" dog Book. everybody has pronunciation issues with it :( The vet kept trying to call him Bud. But I guess that's more of a context problem, though.
I took in a kitty from a friend that had a broken brain, because she was going to have him declawed. I let him have run of my at-the-time huge house and put him on Prozac, and within two months he was a completely different cat. I talk about him now to her and she swears it can't be the same animal.
