Tonight: Laugh at cat videos and help Paws Rescue
Laughing at cat videos has been proven to provide health benefits to the audience. Seriously.
Get health benefits while doing good when Cat Video Fest returns to the Strand for the second year tonight, Saturday, Feb. 29 at 7 p.m.
Cat Video Fest 2020 benefits Paws Rescue to help with their work. Paws Rescue is a non-profit, no-kill animal rescue located in Vicksburg since 2004.
Cat Video Fest is a compilation reel of the latest and best cat videos culled from countless hours of unique submissions and sourced animations, music videos, and, of course, classic internet powerhouses. Cat Video Fest is a joyous communal experience, only available in theaters, and it raises money for cats in need through partnerships with local cat charities, animal welfare organizations, and shelters to best serve cats in the area.
Cat Video Fest is committed to raising awareness and money for cats in need around the world. A percentage of the proceeds from each event go to local animal shelters and/or animal welfare organizations.
By focusing fundraising efforts on behalf of local shelters and organizations, we’re able to divert money and attention directly to the places and causes that need it most. For example, in some communities, the feral cat population is the most pressing concern, whereas in other locations, spaying and neutering take precedent. We trust local people working on behalf of cats to know and understand the problems that need to be solved.
The 70-minute-reel of cat videos is family-friendly and can be enjoyed by anyone.
And the popcorn is free.
Tickets are $10 and are available at Highway 61 Coffeehouse (1101 Washington St.) and at the door.
