HAMILTON'S BIOGRAPHY

A huge supporter of animal adoption, I found this wonderful addition to the family on Petfinder.com. There was no photo of him; just a description of a 12-week-old all-grey male who resembled a Turkish Angora and was "very captivating." I knew I wanted a longhaired boy, but I had my heart set on a kitty with a lot of white in his coat....

Yet, something drew me to him.

I eagerly made the out-of-state treck to meet him, giddy about the blurry cell-phone graphic his foster mom emailed me that morning. When the little pussywillow curled up in my lap to take a nap, I knew I had to give him his forever home. And I knew his name would be Hamilton.

Hamilton fills me with happiness every day! He "asks" to get under the covers with me, then snuggles up against me and purrs. He makes "happy paws" and rubs his face on my face when I get home after a long day out. And, like his predecessor Paris, he is learning to perform tricks on command. So far, he can sit, give a paw, give a high-five, jump through a hoop, give a kiss, and spin in a circle!

I love my Hamilton so much, and feel truly grateful to have found him.
