In many cases, these people catch the animals, then arrange to have them spayed and vaccinated, before releasing them back out into the streets. This is a fascinating, difficult topic — one that has a lot to do with the measure of our own humanity, and with the role such creatures can play in the social fabric of a community — and while “The Cat Rescuers” movingly portrays the unique individuals committed to helping these cats, it doesn’t quite tackle the full complexity of this subject. Still, no animal lover should be surprised to find themselves holding back tears while watching this documentary. The Cat RescuersNot rated. 1 hour 27 minutes.
