Kindness Is Saving 25 Cats From Qatar
Filmmaker Mye Hoang joins Anitha to talk about her latest documentary, 25 CATS FROM QATAR. Mye is a cat lover who shares her home with five cats so it makes sense that a visit to a cat café in Milwaukee, USA lead to her filming a documentary about the owner of the café, Katy McHugh. Mye films Katy's rescue mission to Qatar where she brings 25 cats back to the US and finds them their forever homes.
Mye shares what it was like being a part of this incredible journey to Qatar, a country with so much wealth yet at the same time filled with so many suffering animals. The cats are not native to Qatar. They were brought in years ago to help control the rat population. Sadly, the cats weren’t spayed or neutered and their numbers increased to the point that local rescuers are overwhelmed and cannot care for all the cats.
This was such a privilege for Anitha to speak with Mye, who donates profits from the documentary and from the sale of merchandise to local rescues.
The film is being shown throughout the United States and Mye hopes to take the film to other countries.
