The film opens with Gabby seated at the edge of her bedroom, leaning over her towering, multicolored dollhouse and arranging miniature dishes on a tiny table. She hums a tune as sunlight moves across the floor. Her cat-themed pajamas and the scattered art supplies in the room establish routine: Gabby cares for the dollhouse and for the animated Gabby Cats who inhabit it. A loud knock at the front door interrupts her. Gabby runs to answer and finds her grandmother standing on the porch with a suitcase, a map with a string of marked routes, and a paper ticket bearing the name "Cat Francisco." Her grandmother announces a road trip invitation; she has planned a visit to the urban wonderland of Cat Francisco and she wants Gabby to come along. Gabby hugs her grandmother, tucks a small accessory from the dollhouse into her pocket, and they set off in a colorful car loaded with supplies and the dollhouse secured in the back seat.

On the highway they share a playful sing-along. The score swells as composer Stephanie Economou's music underscores the journey, and animated title cards indicate the miles passing. They cross bridges and drive past fields that slowly give way to the dense skyline of Cat Francisco. Along the way they make stops at roadside attractions where Gabby interacts with city-themed icons: a gigantic cat-shaped diner, a pedestrian plaza with statues of famous feline figures, and a tunnel decorated with mosaics made of buttons and yarn. Gabby takes photographs of the dollhouse at each stop and pins the photos into a travel journal. Her grandmother points out landmarks and tells stories about the city's history; she presses Gabby's hand to calm her when traffic grows heavy.

They arrive in Cat Francisco as evening descends. Neon signs shaped like cat ears and whiskers pulse over a crowded street filled with small shops, food stalls, and music. Gabby carries the dollhouse into a small boutique-styled inn where they are staying. The inn's proprietor briefly remarks on the dollhouse's charm and suggests a local festival that celebrates cats and craft-makers. Later that night, Gabby sets up a bedside scene: miniature lights in the dollhouse flicker on, and the animated Gabby Cats wake and gather at the entrance to welcome her. The Gabby Cats--her miniature companions--perform a short, energetic musical number in the dollhouse's attic that spills on to Gabby's bed, and they interact with Gabby in a dreamlike animated sequence in which the room enlarges and Gabby shrinks to doll size to play alongside them. This sequence transitions the film from live-action to the blended style that integrates animated interludes.

The next morning, Gabby and her grandmother walk through a market to the heart of Cat Francisco, where a parade of local Gabby Cat performers provide entertainment. Vendors sell handcrafted cat hats, embroidered patches, and colorful pastries. Gabby engages with several of the Gabby Cats who have come out into the streets for the parade: Pandy Paws rolls a plush ball to entertain children; Cakey hands out tiny cupcakes; and a quartet of Cats harmonize in a cappella. A poster at the plaza advertises the City Cat Museum, a sprawling structure that displays rare feline artifacts and claims to protect treasured cat-related objects. Gabby and her grandmother take photographs, sample pastries, and listen as a street musician urges the crowd to celebrate the city's feline heritage. At one moment Gabby rests the dollhouse on a table at a café to photograph it; a woman nearby, observing the dollhouse with intense interest, lingers close by.

That evening Gabby and her grandmother attend the festival. Lights illuminate storefronts; performers dance on the cobblestone streets. The same woman from the café appears again at the festival perimeter, watching the dollhouse through binoculars. She wears an ornate coat covered in brooches shaped like mice and cats. Children whisper that she collects rare cat things. The woman is the film's antagonist, referred to throughout as the Cat Lady. She follows Gabby at a distance and conspires to take the dollhouse away. The Cat Lady scouts the dollhouse's design and makes notes in a leather-bound ledger. She speaks quietly into a small recorder, planning how to add the dollhouse to her collection of rare items. Gabby does not immediately notice the scrutiny; she is busy dancing with the Gabby Cats on a float and taking part in a large choreographed sequence across the plaza that culminates in fireworks.

Later that night, Gabby returns with the dollhouse to the inn. In the corridor she finds the door ajar and two small Gabby Cats huddled under the bed. The Cat Lady has slipped into the room while Gabby and her grandmother were at the festival. She has not yet stolen the dollhouse, but she has left behind a small, shimmering thread that the Gabby Cats sniff and paw at suspiciously. The following morning, Gabby discovers that one of the dollhouse's miniature chimneys has been pried loose; a tiny paw-sized footprint in the dust indicates intruder activity. Concerned, she tells her grandmother, who immediately suggests they lock the dollhouse in the trunk of their car for safety. Gabby agrees, but while they load their belongings a bell above a nearby shop rings and the Cat Lady triggers a plan. She rides a bicycle with a basket rigged with mechanical claws; as Gabby and her grandmother turn a corner, a net drops from a rooftop and ensnares the dollhouse, lifting it from the car. Gabby reaches for the trunk and grabs the wheel of the net. The Cat Lady activates a smoke device and vanishes down an alley. Gabby's grandmother shouts and chases after her, but the Cat Lady releases a swarm of mechanical kittens that distract the crowd and sends the dollhouse tumbling into the basket of her bicycle. The Cat Lady pedals away, disappearing into the narrow streets of Cat Francisco with the dollhouse in tow.

Gabby screams. Her grandmother calls for calm and quickly takes charge: she ushers Gabby into a taxi and they give chase. The city becomes a maze of alleys, fire escapes, and rooftop gardens. Gabby leans out the taxi window and points as the Cat Lady weaves through pedestrians. The driver slams the brakes at intersections and they pursue on foot when the taxi cannot continue. Gabby's grandmother runs across a pedestrian bridge and leaps from the railing to grab a fire escape; she climbs while Gabby follows. The chase progresses into an extended action sequence that shifts back and forth between live-action and animated sequences. Gabby and the Gabby Cats--now animated full-size beside her--split up to follow clues: Pandy Paws skates across a plaza to distract the Cat Lady's mechanical kittens; Cakey slides down a cake-shaped awning and smashes a box of pastries to create a trail that leads to a vendor who saw the Cat Lady's direction. Each Gabby Cat performs a specific action to impede the Cat Lady's escape. The Cat Lady navigates across the rooftops and uses a grappling hook attached to her bicycle to swing across a canal. Gabby grabs a hanging banner and swings herself until she drops onto the Cat Lady's path, momentarily blocking her.

The Cat Lady responds by activating a large net-launcher mounted on a balcony; she fires and the net ensnares both Gabby and the dollhouse. Gabby holds the dollhouse with both hands as the net drags her up a series of scaffolds. The Cat Lady climbs up a ladder and reaches out to claim the dollhouse. Gabby's grandmother arrives and grabs the Cat Lady's coat; the Cat Lady slashes at the grasp with a glittering brooch, and metal fragments scatter. A struggle ensues on a narrow rooftop edge above a busy square. Gabby clutches the dollhouse and shouts for help. The net begins to tear under strain. The Cat Lady pulls on the dollhouse until the miniature door opens and several Gabby Cats tumble out, scattering across the rooftop. Pandy Paws lunges at the Cat Lady's hand and bites the sleeve; the Cat Lady flails and drops a small device that emits a high-frequency tone. The device sends the Gabby Cats into a dizzying spin, and two of them topple from the ledge. Gabby lunges to save them, grabbing their tails and pulling them back to safety. Her clothing snags on a nail; Gabby holds on with one hand and the dollhouse with the other. Her grandmother reaches into a tool bag she is carrying and throws a grappling hook that catches the Cat Lady's coat. The Cat Lady loses her footing and starts to fall, but she catches herself on a gutter. Gabby frees her hand and uses both arms to heave the dollhouse upward.

At that moment the Cat Lady releases the net and the dollhouse slides toward the edge. Gabby throws herself across the rooftop and catches the dollhouse by the miniature porch railing. The Cat Lady reaches for it with a gloved hand and grabs the dollhouse's tiny staircase; they both hold fast, fingers inches apart. The Cat Lady yanks and tries to wrest the dollhouse free, bending the staircase. Gabby's grandmother strides forward and plants her foot on the Cat Lady's coat, prying the woman backward. The Cat Lady draws a compact mirror from her pocket and breaks it across the rooftop to create a reflection that dazzles Gabby. Gabby blinks and the Cat Lady uses the moment to lever the dollhouse upward and out of Gabby's grasp; a gust of wind catches the dollhouse and it falls, tumbling end over end. Gabby screams and lunges, but she cannot catch it. The dollhouse drops into a narrow alley where the Cat Lady's bicycle and mechanical kittens await. She scoops it up and disappears through a service gate into a locked courtyard.

Gabby drops to her knees and sobs. Her grandmother kneels beside her, brushing Gabby's hair and speaking quietly. Gabby rallies and tells her grandmother that she will get the dollhouse back. They set a plan: they will infiltrate the Cat Lady's courtyard, find the dollhouse, and recover it before the Cat Lady can place it in the City Cat Museum. Gabby organizes the Gabby Cats and maps a route through the city based on clues: the Cat Lady frequents an antique shop, a tailor who makes brooches, and ultimately the City Cat Museum, a fortified building with a heavy brass door. The group assembles small tools and disguises. Gabby's grandmother devises a diversion: she arranges a flash mob at the antique shop to draw the Cat Lady out. While the Cat Lady attends to the diversion, Gabby and a team of Gabby Cats slip through the courtyard's back gate.

They enter the courtyard at dusk. The space contains ornate cages repurposed as planters, a fountain shaped like a sleeping cat, and a shed where the Cat Lady repairs her mechanical kittens. Gabby crawls underneath a rack of hanging coats, avoiding creaking floorboards. A camera on a post swivels to scan the courtyard. Pandy Paws climbs the post and disables the camera with a small magnet. Cakey distracts a mechanical kitten by offering a fake pastry, which the kitten swats and chases into a drain. The Gabby Cats then trace the dollhouse's paw prints to a locked glass cabinet bolted to a wall. The dollhouse sits inside, encased in a glass dome and surrounded by other cat artifacts. It is on a rotating stand with spotlights trained on it and a plaque describing its provenance. Gabby kneels and presses her fingertips to the glass; she cannot reach it. She notices a small keyhole beneath the plaque. She signals for help and a slender metal rod slides from Pandy Paws' collar; he inserts the rod into the keyhole and turns. A soft click echoes and the cabinet's lock disengages. Gabby lifts the lid and cradles the dollhouse. As she does, a throbbing bell rings and the Cat Lady's voice comes over a loudspeaker: an alarm triggers.

The Cat Lady appears at the edge of the courtyard, accompanied by a row of mechanical kittens now armed with clawed paws. She stands with her arms folded, clearly prepared to take the dollhouse back by force. Gabby steps forward and holds the dollhouse in front of her. The Cat Lady advances and commands the mechanical kittens to pounce. The kittens rush and Gabby guards the dollhouse, ducking as they swipe at her. Gabby's grandmother emerges from the diversion and throws a net to entangle the mechanical kittens; two of them become stuck and crash into the fountain. The Cat Lady grows angry and pulls a remote from her coat. She presses a button and a larger mechanism descends from an overhead scaffold: a mechanical arm that can reach into the courtyard and extract objects. The arm plucks the dollhouse from Gabby's hands and hoists it toward the Cat Lady. Gabby tries to grab the dollhouse from the grasping claw; her fingers brush the painted shingles. She reaches until her forearms tremble.

At this point the Cat Lady reveals a hidden device: a compact shrink-ray coded into a brooch. She explains, in clipped sentences, that she collects and preserves items by shrinking them to fit her cabinet of rarities. She flips the brooch's switch and a focused beam surrounds the dollhouse, causing it to compress to a fraction of its size. Gabby witnesses the miniature chairs collapse inward like folded paper. Gabby locks eyes with the Cat Lady and screams that the dollhouse belongs in Gabby's home. The Cat Lady responds by capturing Gabby with another net and locking her in a small display cage intended as punishment for intruders. Gabby's grandmother lunges and tries to smash the cage door with a crowbar, but the Cat Lady vows to take the shrunken dollhouse to the City Cat Museum for safekeeping in her collection of small wonders.

Inside the display cage, Gabby checks the dollhouse's interior and discovers that some Gabby Cats have shrunk along with the house; they now live in doll-size rooms and call out to her in muffled voices. Gabby reaches into the gaps and finds a tiny key. She slips the key into the lock of the cage and turns it. The door pops open and she slips out. Outside, she spots the Cat Lady preparing to place the shrunken dollhouse into a velvet-lined box. Gabby sprints across the courtyard, leaps onto the mechanical arm's casing, and pries the box open. The Cat Lady yanks the brooch to intensify the shrink effect, but Gabby snatches hold of the box. A struggle begins: the Cat Lady tries to hit Gabby with a metal rod, but Gabby ducks and counters with a blind toss of a small wind-up toy that tangles the Cat Lady's shoelaces. The Cat Lady stumbles, and the box slips from her grasp. The shrunken dollhouse slides across a narrow ledge and teeters at the edge of the fountain. Gabby lunges, grasps the mini-porch, and pulls the dollhouse to safety.

The Cat Lady reacts by activating a magnetic field inside a nearby sculpture that begins to pull metal objects, including the dollhouse's metallic accents, toward her. Gabby holds the dollhouse in both hands and braces herself, but the magnetic force is strong and vesicles of metal begin to tear away from the dollhouse. Gabby's grandmother, seeing the danger, smacks the sculpture with a wrench and short-circuits it. Sparks fly and the magnetic field collapses. The Cat Lady attempts a final, desperate move: she aims the brooch directly at Gabby and fires a pulse intended to immobilize her. Gabby anticipates the motion and steps aside; the pulse hits the fountain instead, causing a geyser of water to erupt. The Cat Lady loses her balance and falls backward into a net that the Gabby Cats had secretly stretched across the alley. The net tightens and suspends her just above the ground, her legs dangling. Gabby recovers the shrunken dollhouse and presses the brooch against the base, reversing the shrink-ray's polarity. The dollhouse expands back to its original proportions with a soft click. Gabby opens the dollhouse's front door and the Gabby Cats tumble out and surround her, cheering. They leap into the air and land on Gabby's shoulders and lap.

At no point does any character die. No on-screen killing occurs; the Cat Lady injures no one with lethal intent. The mechanical kittens are disabled and tangled; they do not cause fatal harm. The Cat Lady is captured temporarily in a net and is uninjured beyond being embarrassed and disarmed.

With the dollhouse back in her possession, Gabby turns to confront the Cat Lady. The Cat Lady hangs in the net and speaks frankly: she confesses that she collects rare items because she feels invisible in a city that moves past her. She admits to shrinking objects to preserve them privately; she says she believed objects would keep her company. Gabby listens and then steps forward, placing one small Gabby Cat gently on the Cat Lady's shoulder. She offers the Cat Lady a hand up from the net and asks her to see the dolls not as trophies but as friends. The Cat Lady hesitates, squeezed by pride, then takes Gabby's hand. Gabby releases the Cat Lady and helps her to her feet. The Cat Lady's expression softens and she allows Gabby to keep the dollhouse. Her mechanical devices stay powered down.

Gabby's grandmother suggests they all go to the City Cat Museum to resolve the matter publicly. At the museum entrance a line of volunteers and local artisans has gathered. The Cat Lady walks with Gabby and her grandmother up the steps and addresses the curator. She apologizes for taking the dollhouse and explains her methods. The curator inspects the dollhouse and notes its unique craftsmanship. The Cat Lady returns other objects she had acquired by force--small trinkets and crafts she had appropriated from vendors--and the citizens accept the items back. The curator offers the Cat Lady a position within the museum as a caretaker under supervision: she can preserve items properly while returning ownership where appropriate. The Cat Lady agrees, partly because she wants a place that will acknowledge her expertise, and partly because Gabby's offer of friendship suggests a different path. She signs a form and hands Gabby a small, repaired brooch as an apology gift. Gabby accepts it cautiously and then tucks it into her journal.

The film's final sequence moves to the festival stage where the Gabby Cats perform a celebratory musical number to thank the community. Gabby and her grandmother stand at the front of the crowd; the Cat Lady watches from the museum's steps, smiling faintly. The crowd claps, and the camera follows Gabby as she hugs each Gabby Cat and then places the dollhouse back on the inn's front porch. She snaps a final photograph of Cat Francisco's skyline and tapes an admission ticket into her travel journal, next to the photo of the dollhouse. On the drive home, Gabby and her grandmother share quiet conversation about what happened; Gabby shows the repaired brooch and the Gabby Cats snooze in a soft cluster in the passenger seat. The film ends on a final live-action shot of Gabby's bedroom door closing. Inside, the dollhouse's miniature lights go on one by one and the Gabby Cats settle into their rooms. The closing credits roll while a reprise of the film's main musical theme plays. In the final frame, Gabby plants a postcard of Cat Francisco on her bedroom wall and then blows out the bedside lamp as the screen fades to black. No characters die in the story; the Cat Lady survives, is captured and later offered a role of responsibility, and the dollhouse and the Gabby Cats are preserved and returned to Gabby.
