ANN ARBOR, MI – Have you ever wanted to attend an event dedicated to watching funny cat videos with other people?

Now is your time.

Cat Video Fest 2020 is coming to Ann Arbor’s Michigan Theater, 603 E. Liberty St., at 7:30 p.m., Monday, March 2. Tickets are $10.50 for adults and $8.50 for students, children and seniors.

A 72-minute compilation of videos of cat paws, meows, tricks and laughs is being shown on the screen. It features the latest, best cat videos from unique submissions and sourced animations, music videos and the

internet.

“Cat Video Fest is so much fun because you see a bunch of short videos of cats doing hilarious things,” said Ariel Wan, director of programming, marketing and sales for the Michigan and State theaters. “It doesn’t all come from YouTube. It’s a collection of videos from all different sources.”

Cat Video Fest is a national campaign and a new film is created for each cycle. The film is being shown from Hawaii and California to Maine and Florida with a purpose of fundraising for cats all over the country. The festival comes to Ann Arbor twice a year.

Dena Gilmore, CEO of Wags to Wiskers Pet Supplies, is ecstatic to be a sponsor of the event and share her love of animals with attendees. She said cats don’t get enough attention.

“It’s a big party around our cats,” Gilmore said. “We’re going to have a table there for people coming together that are fans of cats – it’s the festiveness of it.”

Wags to Wiskers Pet Supplies has been in business for 18 years. Gilmore said that the stores in Ann Arbor, Chelsea and Ludington sell solutions-based natural and holistic products for all animals.

Ten percent of proceeds from Cat Video Fest 2020 will go to the Humane Society of Huron Valley. An additional showing is set for 1:30 p.m. March 7.
