Me Wow! CatVideoFest Missoula Lets You Help Local Humane Society

Most of you are probably old enough to remember the early days of Facebook and YouTube.

Ah, yes, the glory days where every other video clip was the amusing antics of a cat! And sure, you still can enjoy plenty of them. They just have a lot more competition than they used to.

They still hold plenty of appeal. And if you are among those who crave their a-mews-ment, then one of the large litter of showings this week at a Missoula theater is the purr-fect must see for you.

The Roxy Theater at 718 South Higgins Avenue presents: CatVideoFest, a compilation of the latest and best cat videos chosen from countless hours of unique submissions. It includes animations, music videos, and classic internet powerhouses.

CatVideoFest, only available in theaters, raises money for cats in need through partnerships with local cat charities, animal welfare organizations, and shelters to best serve cats in the area. Locally, that means a portion of the proceeds from CatVideoFest 2024 will go the Humane Society of Western Montana and to Animeals.
