Dear fellow cat lovers, help!

I had a neighbour who owned a microchipped cat. The owner was in a hospital for 3.5 months and asked me to.look after the cat. The owner has multiple sclerosis and out of kindness of my heart I was looking after the cat for 3.5 years, buying practically all his food, the cat spent 80-90% of time at my place, I bought him a water fountain, igloo house, made a cat flap so that he could roam freely in and out any time as he pleased. The owner neglected the cat saying he was supposed to drink water from the TOILET!!!!, she never brushed him, didn't take him to the vet when he had fleas ...I have been de facto a primary carer of this intelligent, polite, adorable cat. 2 years ago I wanted to report the cats owner to RSCPSA but I was told by cats league that they will never give the cat to me. So I shouldered everything for 3.5 years and we absolutely love this cat as our family. Not only I was meeting most of the cats expenses but I was buying food and helped with laundry to this disabled neighbour. She never gave me a penny towards cats food or anything else. This woman with a disability has moved 2 weeks ago and her daughter reported me to the police that I stole the cat. The cat voted with his little feet and was at my place when they were moving. I am ill with grief, the cat is about 15 years old , very gentle and fragile. He will not survive long in neglectful environment. I can't give up on the cat. I have witness statements from neighbours saying the cat and I had a most close and loving bond. I am looking for a lawyer to.challenge the ownership on the grounds that for 3 years the cat lived with me, I was a primary caring person and I met all his needs and most of the expenses. It is making me ill and I am worried about the cat snatched from me against his will
