When 11-year-old Sunita volunteers at the Wild at Heart Animal Clinic, she discovers a colony of feral cats living by the railroad tracks. But the neighbors want the cats gone for good. With time running out, Sunita must rally her community to protect the vulnerable animals in her care—even if it means defying her own father.
