Cats cats cats Videofest - VOKRA fundraiser $28

Let's watch a purr-fectly cute selection of cat shorts & support VOKRA, a local cat shelter. Trailer: https://youtu.be/wbzRCI1AgZ8?si=TWkiO_lOnUkhvx3T

Catvideofest is a compilation of the latest, best cat videos culled from countless hours of unique submissions & animations, music videos, and classic internet powerhouses.

This screening is a fundraiser in support of volunteer-driven VOKRA, that rescues, rehabilitates, & rehomes 1,400+ cats and kittens each year in the Lower Mainland. Proceeds support VOKRA’s core operations as they enter kitten season, its busiest & most resource-intensive time of year.

The Rio Theatre is a charming independent theatre located a 4 min walk from the skytrain.

Pls don't sign up until you've bought your tkt. I suspect this will be a busy show with a long line to get in.

If you'd like to sit with the group, arrive by 2 pmish. We'll meet/sit on the 2nd floor balcony level, 2 or 3 rows back from the front. As it's easy to find each other up there.

After, we'll go to nearby St. Augustine's Pub for a snack to discuss the show & share cat stories. If you might like to join for this, msg me or put a note in Comments by Aug 20, as I'll try to make a rezo at the big table in the middle.

Karenmeter: 99lives%. "pawsitively the meowst catvitating show you'll see all year".

Bring some loonies & toonies if you'd like to drop them in my "litter" box of donations. Then I'll make an extra donation on our club's behalf, as my employer doubles donations(yay).

Wear your cat ears and cat-tails if you have some! I'll wear cat ears & a black tshirt with a silver MEOW on the front.
