Sweet, soulful Lewis may take a moment to warm up, but once he does, he'll steal your heart with the loudest, most magnificent purr you've ever heard. This thoughtful boy likes to observe before joining in, following his siblings' lead as he builds confidence in new situations. Lewis adores being held close and having his head gently stroked—those quiet moments of connection mean everything to him. He has feline cerebellar hypoplasia (FCH), which affects his balance and gives him a unique gait, but it doesn't stop him from keeping up with his more outgoing siblings. Lewis will do best as an indoor-only cat in a calm home with minimal safety hazards and simple accommodations like raised bowls. He needs a patient adopter who will appreciate his gentle nature and give him the time to blossom into the affectionate companion he's meant to be.
