Hastings the Christmas cat

This is our friend Hastings. Michaela found him abandoned on the street one cold January day about 11 years ago. She rescued him, cleaned him up, and he has become the distinguished-looking gentleman you see here. Since we figure he was born some time around Christmas, this is a very special time of year for him, and for us to think of all the other stray kittens who are not as lucky as he was.
