Yes it is called night vision
Some animals, such as cats, dogs, and deer have a structure called tapetum lucidum in the back of the eye that reflects light back towards the retina, increasing the amount of light it captures. In humans, only 10% of the light that enters the eye falls on photosensitive parts of the retina. An animal's ability to see in low light levels may be similar to what humans see when using first or perhaps second generation image intensifiers.

There must be some minimal amount of light for the eyes to function. Cats can see in lower levels of light than can humans.

No. The can see in very low light (more easily than a human can) but in pitch blackness they can't see anything. You have to have some light source in order to be able to see, whether you're a cat or a human.
