Since 2013, Cat Rescuer Heidi Systo has dedicated herself to helping Brooklyn’s street cats. This documentary, filmed between 2021 and 2023, follows Heidi into the backyards and abandoned lots where she shares a sobering truth: without human intervention, up to 75% of kittens born on the street die before six months of age.
A young woman quits her day job to follow her passion: helping Brooklyn’s street cats.
"Knowing I'm the difference between life and death for an individual animal, I will get out of bed every morning for that.”
Heidi Systo, Cat Rescuer
However when we meet Heidi, she’s working a job that has nothing to do with cats.“No one is paying anyone to rescue cats,” she said. Faced with the decision to remain at work or grow her rescue, Heidi dares to quit her job to see if her true calling will catch her.
