Christie (foster mom) adopted Lewis and his two siblings Ellie and Callie!  8/12/2020

Lewis is a precious boy who loves rolling around and playing with his sisters, Callie and Ellie.  He will go from chasing a toy--straight to your lap to snuggle.  He's a fun and silly kitty with the most beautiful fur.  

Before Lewis was born, his mom showed up on the foster family's doorstep and she was pregnant.  After they searched for her home with no luck, they brought her in so she could give birth to her precious kittens.  

Lewis is a fun outgoing kitty who is friendly and loves to play with things like balls, mouse toys, climbers, and he really loves his Jackson Galaxy Play Wand. He is a champion cuddler, too, and loves to be petted and brushed.  One of the cutest things he does is fall asleep on his back with his tummy out (how can you not rub that belly???).  His foster mom says he's been doing that since he was first born.  He loves to follow you around and wait till you hear his adorable purr!  

While Lewis would be fine as an only kitty, he would be happy with a pet sibling, too.  He would do great with one or both of his sisters or even another kitty--especially if you work or are away from home part of the day. He's very friendly and would easily adapt.  

Special Needs Note:   Lewis tested positive for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV).  Don't worry! Keep reading...

His vet suggested he be retested at six months of age.  Likely positive from mom's antibodies (because momma kitty tested positive), kittens rarely get FIV from their mothers.  Often, when kittens are retested, most of them test negative, which means they never had the virus--they just got the antibodies that fight the virus--from their mom.  FIV-positive cats are very adoptable and can live the same lifespan as a cat who is FIV negative.  

FIV only effects CATS.   It is not passed through open wounds and it is not passed through sharing of food, water, dishes, or toys. It isn't passed by mutual grooming by other cats, snuggling, mock fighting, sharing the same litter box, getting scratched, or even by sneezing.  FIV and non-FIV cats can be held and cuddled at the same time and not spread the virus.  

At six months of age, Everett Animal Welfare Group can arrange for an IDExx test at one of the vets and the price would be just $24. 

Lewis's adoption fee is $90 and a spay/neuter voucher is included. Please visit Everett Animal Welfare Group's website and complete an adoption application and let us know if you would like to meet Lewis or the rest of his precious family. No pressure!
