🎬🐱 2026 NY Cat Film Festival – Benefiting Melissa’s Second Chances! Hosted by the Fine Arts Theatre Group
Get ready, cat lovers — the popular NY Cat Film Festival is coming back to Kansas City, and this year it’s bringing even more whiskers, wonder, and heartwarming feline stories to the big screen!
📸 Planning to attend? Can't attend but want your cat to be a star of the show? Send a photo of your pet and their name to [email protected]—they just might be featured during the show!
The NY Cat Film Festival is a national celebration of the bond between cats and their people, with short films curated to highlight joy, compassion, rescue, and the shelters that make second chances possible. In every city on the tour, a local shelter receives a portion of ticket sales — and again this year, Melissa’s Second Chances is honored to be the beneficiary!
