Cat Out of the Bag Alert!  This review contains some spoilers for this film!

Synopsis: Andi (Emma Roberts) and Bruce (Jake T. Austin) are a couple of troubled foster kids who secretly rescue stray dogs and keep them in an abandoned New York City hotel.

Kitty Cameos: In one scene the kids are trying to hide their dog Friday from their foster parents. They put him out on the fire escape where he uses a basket contraption which Bruce has invented as an elevator to lower himself to the ground. As Friday passes a fire escape an orange tabby cat watches him.
