I first found out about Cat Video Fest when a friend invited me last year and I said, “why not?” 

Now I can’t imagine ever not going. It’s a touring festival so in addition to Pittsburgh, the fest will play at theaters all over the US. The Pittsburgh fest happens at Row House Cinema in Lawrenceville. 

From their website: 

“CatVideoFest is a compilation reel of the latest and best cat videos culled from countless hours of unique submissions and sourced animations, music videos, and classic internet powerhouses. CatVideoFest is a joyous communal experience, only available in theaters, and raises money for cats in need through partnerships with local cat charities, animal welfare organizations, and shelters to best serve cats in the area.” 

The Pittsburgh festival honored two local cat rescues giving a percent of the ticket sales and providing space for attendees to meet adoptable. The two rescues chosen were Trash Cat Rescue and Frankie’s Friends.
