I struggled to find an original one for my 16v XSi too but you might be more persistent/have more luck.
There seem to be BM catalysts everywhere you look and because I needed to get the car through the MoT in a hurry last May that's also what the garage ended up sourcing & fitting. I went for a type approved one (although it's not legally required) in the hope it would last a little bit longer.
At the price they charge (about £80) I'm not hugely optimistic about it lasting and so picked up a Walker one from Mr Auto a few months later. https://www.mister-auto.co.uk/catalytic-...20296.html . They aren't showing any in stock currently but will let you add one to the basket so assume they're available to order. They also have Bosal and MTS ones at considerably higher cost. Know Bosal is half decent but no idea about MTS.
Only other option is welding a cat in to the existing pipework if it isn't too rotten. Plenty of options such as Eeyore's original '6 cat or a universal one.
Have you had the XSi for a while btw? You're showing as a member since 2014 so guess you have? I'm just down the road from you.
