I wouldn't push it with him and another cat.

Think about it. Right now he's so into his kitty. Another wouldn't permit him to carry them both around with him, together. The one would loose attention; they might fight.

He's a teenager and it might be too much for him to deal with. Before you find a good person with whom to place a kitty, make certain they have a good home. What would his parents or roommates say?

I'm glad he's loving that baby, though. I also hopes he's making a life-long bond. I'm worried about what might happen if he goes away to college...
