Hello Sharon,
Have you contacted the Cinnamon Trust? They have been set up to cope with just this kind of scenario. Elderly patients needing hospitalisation (sometimes resulting in death) with cherished pets who need caring for and a home until the situation improves (or not).

Hope the little loves find a home for their senior days, bless them. Am very sad to hear how poorly Winston is...I hope he is able to enjoy some good quality time before the cancer (hate that word!!) spreads too far..poor little love.
Lots of love to them
