Skip it. 'Rent-a-Cat' sounds like a Hallmark movie that forgot to be charming—the premise is quirky for quirky's sake, and the predictable love-story plot twist kills any originality the cat-renting concept might've had. Unless you're specifically jonesing for low-stakes, forgettable comfort viewing, your time is better spent elsewhere.

Plot

A young woman who rents out cats to lonely old folks finds her life turned upside down when a young man from her past shows back up in her life.
