The NY Cat Film Festival™ is a film exploration of the fascinating felines who share our lives. These are not random internet “cat videos” – these are films made with an intention, concept or story conveying something essential about cats. Cats have a unique and indescribable bond with people – even when living independently as community cats. For far too long, felines have been the “invisible” part of the human-animal bond. We wish to shine the spotlight on these magnificent creatures and the humans devoted to them. A portion of each ticket will be donated to the Humane Society of North Central Florida.
