The verdict

There are not yet enough audience votes to give this a reliable score. It is not currently playing in Hong Kong cinemas. 95 minutes.

What it is about

The nation of Qatar has a street cat population equal to the entire human population of the entire country – and is growing fast. Disease is rampant, and local adoption is rare. 25 CATS FROM QATAR follows one mission – led by a network of multinational underground animal rescuers in Doha and a Milwaukee flight attendant/ cat cafe owner – to transport out 25 lucky felines and find homes for them abroad, all the while searching for a long-term solution to the crisis.

What to expect

A low-key rescue documentary that spends its 95 minutes on the logistics of moving 25 street cats from Doha to new homes abroad, rather than on tear-jerking heroics. The operation hinges on a network of underground rescuers in Qatar and a Milwaukee flight attendant who runs a cat café — an odd-couple pairing that gives the movie its practical, unglamorous texture. Qatar’s stray population now equals its human one, disease is endemic, and local adoption barely registers, so the movie also asks what a long-term fix might look like. It will suit anyone curious about the unglamorous reality of cross-border animal welfare. In English with Chinese and English subtitles. Screening at InDPanda venues from 12 September 2026.
