The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) estimates that about 6.5 million companion animals are surrendered to shelters every year in the U.S.

Of the animals that are surrendered 3.2 million of them are cats and, tragically, 860,000 of them are euthanized each year.

Although these numbers are heartbreaking, the good news is that 1.6 million cats are adopted from shelters every year and this number is steadily increasing.

This sweet baby was abandoned at a very young age. Thankfully, his human mama was willing to take care of his needs. In this adorable video, this hungry little boy devours a syringe of milk from his new mama's hand.
