Rosie loves visiting the stray cats that live on the farm near her grandmother's house. Her favorite is a tiny kitten who she calls Ginger, because of the gorgeous color of his fur. At first Ginger is very shy, then slowly he learns to trust Rosie. But when the farm is sold to developers and the builders start work, the little kitten is terrified - the other cats have disappeared and he's all alone. Suddenly the world is a very scary place.
