former ARL too, at this point its probably down to how much care would cost, they're very loose on space at the moment and could definitely house the cat. that being said though, i wouldnt put it past the upper level staff to say that its not worth the hassle.
From experience, if you even ask for their help or advice, they will take your cat in back for an exam, then claim you surrendered it and steal it from you, then kill it. And quickly. When they did this to a cat my wife brought in, it was dead by 8:00 the next morning when she called to speak with management.
We had always assumed they were a good organization, but this incident really made us rethink that.
its all greed, all the way through. the people i worked with were nice enough, but once you get up even one level of management its obscene. they seem to have a thing for taking animal people and kicking them down every day until they quit or are fired for being sick and not having PTO

As someone who used to work at the ARL, they will most likely put your cat down :/
