Not good with dogs, House-trained,
Story
Bill came to my house with an injury. After taking time to heal up (plus get neutered and vaccinated), he is showing off what a sweet, playful boy he is! He loves to play with felt mice, tease sticks, and pounce at toys under a blanket. He loves to be pet and will cuddle up on your lap or next to you. He seems to be responding well to my cats but does not seem to get along well my dogs. He is due for felv/fiv testing on March 11 (delay to accommodate having been in a fight, which is what led to his injuries). As a result, he is quarantined at present but responds well to my cats when they are at the door. I would really love to keep him but worry about his fear of my dogs. Rehoming fee covers the cost I paid for his neutering.
