Hello,
Approx 2 months ago i adopted 2 cats, they used to live together a senior of the age of 7 years, and youngster of the age 1.5 years, to start I apologize if this is going to be a long post, but i will need to explain many details to get everything in context.
Those two cats had an owner whom died approx 1.5 month before i adopt them, the cat had to stay around 1.5 months without any proper care with only the landlord every few days giving them dry food and changing as no one wanted to adopt older cats in my area, i finally took them in, they were obviously stressed, fearful and threatened of both experience being along for such long time, their owner gone and so on.
They were doing relatively okay together, with occasional arguments (at best few pews fight nothing harmful), i decided then to just let them try to settle it down together as they're probably stressed of the whole experience still, it calmed down a lot in a month, half a month later i had to take the senior cat to the vet for a full shave, he is long haired and had tons of feces stuck in his tail and body (the vet at first ruled it as it's not as dangerous yet and that It's fine if i take my time until he trusts me enough to get him peacefully to his carrier), done that went back with him and the younger cat suddenly became so threatened of him at first i ruled it as okay as it's normal since he probably picked many scents from the vet, unfortunately i was not right and the younger one kept attacking him all day so badly, it was so bad that i could not even sleep, by the next morning i decided the best course is to separate them and try to do a cat introduction course, it went fine for around 3 days and then i tried to give them a little bit of free access to each other, same extreme aggression happened again, increased lock down period again, retrain in approx 3 more days, same and issue still persists to make it worse the youngster now is so fearful of me, would growl when I'm around and won't let me play/pet with him or even feel okay around me in the room, lately he even started peeing himself whenever i get close to him.
Now a week into the lock down i decided it might be best course if i put him back into adoption, as i noticed how the older cat progress a lot after being separated, for once he let me hold him and even shoulder carry him around while doing chorus which never happened before. Sadly no adopter want to take him so far. and I'm stuck here not knowing what to do, today i tried to re-introduce them again but just letting the doors open, the youngster came out moved around and just sat on a chair and hissed to the other cat, the older boy was very terrified and for the first time attacked me when i tried to comfort him even got bit.
So I don't know what to do now, no shelter wanted to take him, i could not find an adopter, i know he is very scared, terrified but also extremely aggressive to the other cat now so i'm in a really bad spot, any suggestions of things i can do to improve the situation?
Also i apologize for how long this post is! but i felt like i need to give a whole context cause of how complex their situation is.

Sorry for the situation that's brought you here, but thank you for giving these 2 cats a home. It sounds like they went through a stressful time with their original human dying, being left mostly alone for 1.5 months, then moving to a new home with you.
