Oscilloscope Laboratories presents CatVideoFest 2026, a compilation of the latest and best cat videos culled from countless hours of unique submissions and sourced animations, music videos, and classic internet powerhouses. Each year, across the country, local theaters partner with nearby cat-focused charities, animal welfare associations and shelters alike — a portion of ticket proceeds from every screening at The Cary goes directly to local cats in need at the Goathouse Refuge.
CatVideoFest 2026 is a theatrical compilation of the year's funniest, sweetest, and most popular cat videos sourced from submissions and internet classics. This annual screening brings feline enthusiasts together to enjoy seventy minutes of pure joy on the big screen while raising money for animal welfare. Tickets start at just under five dollars, making this an affordable afternoon out with school-aged kids who appreciate internet humor. The Cary Theater is located in the heart of downtown Cary, where you can find free parking in the nearby deck on Town Hall Commons Place. Because this is a traditional theater setting, it is best suited for children who can sit through a feature-length presentation without running around. It is a simple, low-stress Sunday activity that gets you out of the house and out of the heat. You get to laugh at silly pets with fellow animal lovers while directly funding shelter operations for rescued cats in our immediate community.
A portion of every ticket sold for this screening goes directly to the Goathouse Refuge, a local non-profit no-kill animal sanctuary that cares for cats in need.
