Laugh At Silly Kitties At The Catvideofest While Supporting Their Less Fortunate Fellow Felines

Will Braden knows how to say “cat,” “funny cat,” “cat fall,” and “cat fail” in more than 20 different languages. It’s a skill he acquired while plumbing the depths of YouTube to create reels for CatVideoFest, a touring event to celebrate cat videos and raise money for local animal shelters.

The family-friendly festival, currently in the middle of a 14-city tour, comes to the Music Box Theatre this Sunday, September 9, for two screenings. A portion of ticket sales will go to Harmony House for Cats and Grassroots Animal Rescue. Staff from the shelters will also be at the event to collect donations, sign up volunteers, and show off cats who are up for adoption. In years past a few furry friends looking for homes have made an appearance at the theater—and last year two cats went home with CatVideoFest viewers that same day.

Sun 9/9, noon and 2:30 PM, Music Box Theatre, 3733 N. Southport, 773-871-6604, musicboxtheatre.com, $12, $9 seniors and children 12 and under.
