"Courtney Gustafson was just trying to survive in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic; she was working for a food bank but ironically struggling to make ends meet herself. She certainly didn’t expect the house she’d just signed a lease on to have dozens of feral cats hanging around. She was even less prepared for how much she began to care about those cats that were, like her, doing their best. As Gustafson and her feral cats accidentally go viral, she begins to think about the nature of care and how intertwined its different forms are. (Fellow cat lovers, make sure to keep some tissues handy.)"
