A tiny week-old orphan kitten was given a second chance that he so needed. It changed his life forever.

He's only about three weeks old. He was in a big metal cage, shaking and crying all by himself, and we just couldn't leave him there like that. Little Bean is now safe and warm in his foster home, and will be available for adoption when he is big and strong enough.
