Is he a gambler or something? Tell him you can't afford to give him money anymore, and that you are focusing your finances on yourself from now on.
That's it. Don't need to guilt trip yourself into giving him anything. He can manage just fine without your help if he's getting a check every month. Doesn't even need to be a long conversation, just tell him straight up what your feelings are, the same ones you've said here.

He's a hoarder, of both stuff and animals.
He spends most of his time inventorying his stuff, listening to albums, and feeding dozens of cats.
