Meet Hamilton!

This adorable grey and white kitty has a huge following on social media, thanks largely to his incredible mustache and quirky personality!

While Hamilton -- or Hammy for short -- looks like a dapper gentleman, he's had a difficult life. Hamilton and his sister Flower were rescued by Humane Society Silicon Valley when they were found living in a feral colony in San Jose, California.

Thankfully, this incredible cat with the awesome mustache found a loving home when he was adopted in September 2012.

While it took Hamilton some time to adjust to his new surroundings, this special kitty's owner -- and a behavioral specialist -- helped him relax and become a happy, loving, and playful cat.

Now that he's living in a safe environment with someone who loves him unconditionally, Hamilton enjoys getting dressed up in formal wear.

Hammy is also an incredible dancer who has some amazing moves!

While Hamilton may look regal and refined, he loves to play.

Hammy also really loves Halloween, and he always has the best costumes.

Hamilton can also be super silly, and he's known for his amazing derps.

While he lives a full and busy life, Hamilton still finds time to advocate for rescue cats, because he -- and his owner -- want to make sure people know just how important it is to adopt animals who desperately need loving homes.

So the next time you're thinking of adding a new kitty companion to your family, be sure to visit your local animal rescues and shelters -- you'll probably find your best friend waiting there for you!
