Pyro

Male cat with dog anxiety needs new home!

This is my cat Pyro.
I love him dearly with all my heart, he's my baby boy, but I'm going to be moving back in with family soon, likely for a couple years, and they're very allergic to cats, so I can't bring him with me.
I refuse to dump him at a shelter, and I want to make sure he goes to a good home, with people who are good with cats. It also needs to be a home without dogs, as Pyro has REALLY bad dog anxiety.
Pyro is a big ol’ fraidy cat, but turns into the biggest, energetic goofball once he chooses his "person" and gets comfortable around them.
I've tried to introduce him to the outdoors, but he's adamantly an indoor only cat.
He rarely ever gets legit angry; he tends to think other cats growling and batting at him are them trying to play

He's not a very cuddly cat, but once he warms up to you, he always wants to be in the same room as you, and will sometimes curl up next to you on the couch or the bed, and will often greet you at the door.
I want him to go to a good cat-friendly home, where he has plenty of room to run around and play; he's been cooped up in one room for too much of his life. He's a very sweet, silly, mischievous boy who deserves a good home
