Is it cruel to keep him in one room?

Hey, we have three cats, but recently we made friends with a gray tabby. He’s such a love bug and adores people! I’m trying to find him a home, but it’s tough since he’s 5+ years old and FIV+.

Right now, we’re keeping him in the guest room, which has one window, a bed, and a couch. But it feels a bit cruel since I can only visit him every few hours. I wish I could just stay with him, but my oldest cat (she’s 9) is used to sleeping with me on cold nights, and I feel like I’m being unfair to her.
