Surviving the Wild: Cats and Birds
Domestic cats are beloved pets but also a major threat to birds and other wildlife. Every year, outdoor cats kill over 2.4 billion birds in the United States. This film follows the work of three wildlife rehabilitation facilities as they work on the frontlines to care for injured wildlife and give them a chance to be wild again.
