Lewis came in with his three loosely related sisters Millie, Mae and Matylda as strays. It was clear by the amount of plastic they pooped out that they had survived living on the streets by eating garbage. 

The first thing you’ll notice about Lewis is how striking he is. He looks equal part distinguished gentleman and mischievous imp. He is actually both of those things. Lewis is the most adventurous of the quartet, the first to explore and the first to integrate into the pack. He is also an excellent shadow and has the stealthiness of a highly skilled ninja. You will often turn around to find him sitting quietly at your feet. 

Lewis is a lesson in duality – quiet and reserved but also outgoing and needy. He does not yet believe that touch is good, but he is learning. Every day he gets more and more used to being pet. Lewis makes an excellent shadow. He will basically follow you around, curious about what you’re up to. He is an excellent laundry buddy thus making folding clothes more enjoyable. He will also patiently wait for you while you shower, make meals, get ready for work etc. 

It is worth noting that Lewis is very well behaved in the home – he always uses his litter box and has never damaged anything. As with the others, Lewis is just learning that people are kind and can be trusted. His desire to not be held for prolonged periods or smothered in love is fear based. He was terrified of people when he arrived but is learning every day that we can be trusted.

Lewis needs someone who will take their time with him and be patient. If he is going to a home with kids it would be better if they're older kids.
