need help with cat who hasn't been loved enough and is now being abandoned

so I have been asked to help out which this situation by a friend who is being evicted within the next week or less. this cat was bought for the purposes of being her sons cat and now since her son has been taken away for the last 2ish years she doesn't show him any love, never has enough food, he's outside lots etc.

wondering if there is anyone who is looking for a new friend. his name is minion (again, cat was for her son) and he is a grey tabby. I've inserted a Google image of what he basically looks like quite a bit skinnier though. Will take a photo actually of minion within coming days. he is a fantastic boy, approx 8 years old and just wants to be loved and deserves to be cared for properly and shown true love.

I am hesitant to go to any local options as I want to make this as easy for him as possible but will do so if necessary.

I know of spca and catnap please feel free to inform me of other options.
