Iโ€™m having a sleepless night.

If he's already working on it, you've got to keep your agreement. It's too late to renegotiate.

Legit question: How do you know if your male friend is catching feelings?

Yes.

In general just assume that your guy friends will develop feelings for you at some point in time. If you feel the same, tell him. If you don't, be clear that you don't without hurting his feelings.

Am I asking a question?

Poor girl has probably never seen an example of a healthy relationship. She shouldn't be dating anyone until she's gained some stability and self knowledge and knows what she wants and needs in a relationship and what she brings into it.

I do mystery shopping. I just did a shop that requires a reimbursed purchase of at least $10. So I bought her some new socks. She was appreciative...

You're an awesome person, @PepperJ

Can you find some work for her to do, that you pay her for at a reasonable rate, then take her shopping for clothing or other necessities?

(Mow lawn, clean roof gutters, painting....)

No, I think you've got it pretty well under control.

I do agree with @Araz that talking with her about birth control, even if you're encouraging her to stay chaste, is a good idea. If she hasn't gotten much attention in her life before now, she may lack information.

I never abandoned him. I have a safety plan for him
My cats are not domestics. They arnt hard to find good homes for but I have a plan set to for each and every animal if I die.
I dont expect you to understand.

You've been thinking about dying for a long time. You've had a very difficult life. But the fact that you love and care for these animals makes me think you should have a safety plan for you. Someone so full of love for helpless creatures is definitely worth saving.

Make a plan for your animals, and then get the medical care that you need.

I have pets so I cant go away

But you tried to leave them? If you are dead or if you are in a care facility, who will take care of your animals? I think you should get treatment, even if it has to be residential. I'm not convinced that residential treatment centers help, but maybe they will and then you can return to your pets.
