THE CAT RESCUERS- 2019. Synopsis by Rotten Tomatoes. “With over 500,000 streets cats struggling to survive in NYC, and the city unwilling to address the problem, spirited volunteers like Sassee, Claire, Stu and Tara have come to their aid. Their beat is Brooklyn, where the problem has exploded. Combing the borough’s alleys, backyards and housing projects, they trap the cats, get them fixed and returned to their colonies, or adopted.”
7/5/19- Just 2 reviews noted and they are both good. TRDB.
