Okay already I am regretting asking for advice. Why is everyone deciding I am being a bad person or just "deciding" to keep the cat? I am came here for advice about how I should handle my feelings and the situation.

I am completely okay with giving the cat back, I am not insensitive about Tre's immigration issues which, without going into too much detail WERE his fault. It has nothing to do with immigration, it has to do with the school letting him back in after he was KICKED OUT.

We took in the cat because if he didn't there was literally no one else to take him and he would have been given away. We were doing Tre a favor. Now I am at the point where he has been "coming back" three separate times now which would never have been an issue before, but now the cat has spent so much time with us that I am CONCERNED and feel GUILTY about giving him up to an owner he may not know anymore after he has been so happy with not just me, but all of my roommates. If that is wrong then I want ENCOURAGEMENT to see that.

I am in no way trying to get people to be like "YEAH TAKE THE CAT", I just wanted people to tell me if it would or wouldn't be cruel to give him back. I'm trying to figure out whats best FOR THE CAT. Tre has only given us about $200 since December so I am prepared to give that back but I don't even want to go there if Twinkles would still be happy with him. There are more issues like Tre smoking all day every day with the cat in the room, letting him eat dominoes and all other kinds of junk food off the counter and feeding it to him purposely, and climbing all over anything and everything. It took us forever to train him not to literally eat food off our plates while we were eating.

I hope Tre would be better this time around but I am just trying to figure out where the best home for him is, so please can people stop making me feel like a terrible person.
