MacOS 12.7.6 looking for Lightroom Classic 13.5

I recently reset my 2015 macbook (running Monterey 12.7.6) to clear space and help it run better. I was running Lightroom Classic on it with no problem (besides my computer being sluggish due to space) and now I can't open the catalog I was working in through Lightroom because it's "too new to open". I was able to get a direct download link for Lightroom Classic 13.0 but that wont open my previous catalog. I tried installing LrC 14.0 but it won't work with my OS and I can't update because my computer isn't compatable. Is there a way to update to LrC 13.5 now? In the Creative Cloud app it only gives me the option to update to 15.1. I can always create a new catalog but I need the edits from the previous one for reference on a continuing project. 

 

Thank you in advance!

Some users have reported that if you contact Adobe support and ask for a link to donwload 13.5, they will provide. Sometimes you have to call multiple times and each time get a different support person and ask repeatedly until you find the support person who understands and knows how to provide this download link.
