In the Lounge Kitten Season Justice Hehir
About This Show
A two-legged kitten brings novice animal rescue workers to a run-down apartment complex, where a feral cat colony has grown to enormous proportions. Their good intentions are met with hesitancy by the residents at first; but a pronouncement that feeding the cats will result in eviction changes everything. Residents and non-residents alike are left to figure out what their responsibility is to these creatures, and how far they’ll go to keep them safe.
