In foster care, the cost of caring for him is spread out through all the donors. I think the best thing would be to keep him in foster care and look for some "angels" to sponsor him in a foster situation.

I also think he should stay put! Moving a cat from one home to another is stressful on the cat; but they adapt. Moving a cat with this type of illness could -- COULD, not WOULD - trigger all sorts of added problems.

Can he not only stay in foster care, but stay with you? Do you have the space for him? I sure hope so but if not, I think a diligent search should be made to place him ONCE in a furrever foster home.
I agree, it would be difficult to be sure that a potential owner can definitely handle an ailing cat. In foster care, whether he remains with you or another foster carer, at least you can be safe in the knowledge that he is being cared for by highly experienced and cat-loving people.
