Lewis is a 7 year old Mix-Breed in Norway, IA, who needs $3,545 for Lily Toxicity Protocol: Inpatient Kidney Treatment.

My brother had rescued Lewis from the top of a parking ramp in the middle of winter while working 3rd shift as an RN at a VA Hospital. He took him to the vet, nursed him & was in process of rehoming. , Even though I was only being a temporary home for him while my brother traveled from hospital to hospital. Lewis became my furbaby at the height of the COVID pandemic.

On 3/26/26, my son surprised me with a bouquet of flowers. On 3/28/26, Lewis ingested and covered his face in pollen from a true yellow Lily & chewed on a leaf. I brought him to BluePearl in Cedar Rapids, Iowa within 2 hours of occurance. ASPCA Posion Control created a case. Lewis was inpatient at bluepearl for over 48 hrs to push IV fluids, monitor his kidney levels thru blood work & urinalysis.

Lewis aka Bouie aka Bouie Lou Lou was terrified of people, other animals & didn't know how to "cat". Lewis bonded to his feline brothers, Mouse & Midnight, whom we've continued grieving for since 2022 & 2025. Lewis followed their lead & after 2.5 yrs, he finally started to accept being loved on by humans. Lewis loves attention, like lttle booty-pats. He's my last furbaby; my best friend; my heart.

I was abused in every way for over 20 yrs. 8 months after Lewis joined the family, my ex-husband abandoned me, our kids & all of our pets; 3 cats & 1 dog at the time. I have physical limits, can only work parttime & have financially maxed out on all the furbabies care.
