Why are you rehoming your pet (primary reason)?: Personal Problems

Rehoming reason details (if necessary): The reason I am trying to re home him is because I live in a multi story apartment complex, and he does not like living here with my spouse and I.

He is also seriously clumsy and does not pay attention to his surroundings so he’s knocked me down the stairs before and his clumsiness is becoming a danger for myself and my babies that are on the way.
