Cats of Malta takes audiences on a journey through the island's colorful cat colonies, cafes, parks and streets to meet local volunteer feeders and artists whose lives are enriched by stray cats.

Leslie Felperin

Guardian

The film’s tone and purpose are a little hazy at times, making this not as satisfying as spending a good hour browsing cat memes, but it is still soft, fuzzy and purr-inducing.

Rated: 3/5

Battle Royale With Cheese

This makes Cats of Malta the kind of documentary that you can just sit back and enjoy as the participants reassure you that there is still good in the world.

FILMINK (Australia)

Endearing and heart-warming, Cats of Malta avoids being simply an extended YouTube video of cats frolicking by highlighting how members of the community are brought together.

Rated: 15/20

Sarah Jayne Portelli captures a utopian existence for those who draw soul-enriching pleasure from caring unquestioningly, and of those who are happy to lap it up.

Rated: 3.5/5

It is said that there are cat people and there are dog people and, in some ways, I’ll reluctantly agree, but one thing all pet owners can agree on: we’re all better people with them in our lives.

Rated: 3.5/5

Film Threat

What a lovely opportunity Portelli offers us to look into all the little furry faces of the Maltese free-range felines. She captures the jaunty arrogance of an outdoor cat that invigorates the senses.

Rated: 7/10

A truly charming, engaging and beautifully filmed documentary that says much about people and about cats - and about Malta. In Malta, the relationship is a symbiotic one that enhances both species. Highly recommended.
