The film contains no LGBTQ+ characters or themes regarding non-cisnormative identities. The story focuses entirely on the protagonist's survival within an urban setting.

Gender dynamics are neutralized by the use of anthropomorphic characters. The film avoids traditional domestic tropes, focusing instead on solitary survival rather than patriarchal or matriarchal hierarchies.

Traditional racial identifiers are absent due to the animal protagonists. However, the 'stray' status of the characters serves as a metaphor for displaced and socioeconomically marginalized populations.

The narrative offers a critique of urban indifference and failing social safety nets. It centers on the disenfranchised to question the efficacy of Western institutional support for the vulnerable.

No specific physical or neurodivergent disabilities are explicitly identified. The film instead explores vulnerability and the lack of agency experienced by those outside the social norm.
