The domestic cat is often a beloved pet, but it’s also a major threat to birds and other wildlife. Every year in the United States, cats kill well over 1 billion birds. Wildlife rehabilitators are on the frontlines caring for injured birds and giving them a chance to be wild again.

Directed by Aditi Desai, Produced by American Bird Conservancy, Grant Sizemore, and Aditi Desai.
