CatVideoFest: watch cat videos on the big screen to help local shelters [1]

['Gail Sherman']

Date: 2025-08-05

Watching cat videos on a phone is fun. However, cat lovers can now enjoy cute cat videos in a communal experience with other cat lovers while simultaneously supporting local animal welfare organizations. CatVideoFest is an annual event where a compilation of the best cat videos plays on the big screen. The year's film is seventy-five minutes of kitty mayhem.

CatVideoFest is in theaters now. A portion of the proceeds from CatVideoFest goes to local animal charities near the theatre. CatVideoFest has raised over $150,000 since its inception in 2019. Animal shelters hold adoption events and volunteer sign-ups to coincide with showtimes at some theaters. Check your local listings.

CatVideoFest has a page set up for submitting videos to appear in a future film. I submitted this classic:

Previously:

• Historic cat opera performance proves humans can out-meow actual cats (video)

• If you watch one cat video this year, let it be this one

• Watch cat's amusing crab-walk routine to avoid touching snow (video)
