The touring video festival offers a compilation reel of the latest and best cat videos culled from countless hours of unique submissions and sourced animations, music videos, and viral sensations.

Bringing cat video lovers together to share in the joy of watching the vids in the theatre, the event also raises money for cats in need through partnerships with local cat charities, animal welfare organizations, and shelters to best serve cats in the area. A portion of proceeds from this event will benefit Vancouver's Orphan Kitten Cat Rescue Association (VOKRA).

Minors are welcome in the balcony for this event, too - so you can LOL with your little ones, too.

When: Sunday, May 12 at 2:15 p.m. and Saturday, May 18 at 3:30 p.m.

Where: Rio Theatre - 1660 E Broadway, Vancouver

Cost: $12.50 advance (), $14.50 at the door
