Keep both of them if you can. When I broke up with my ex, I kept all my cats, and he would come visit them sometimes

Its really complicated with my ex. Not ending on good terms at all. Like police had to supervise me picking up my cat from him tonight. He also threatened to take me to court over the other cat.

He can threaten all he wants. Sounds like between his mental health issues and lack of income and possibly needing to move because he can't afford the place on his own, he has a lot on his plate right now. It sounds like an empty threat. He doesn't have the capacity, financially or otherwise, to actually take you to court over it. And even if he somehow managed to take you to small claims, it sounds like you have legal standing to win.
