Comedy Catbaret was inspired by Emilio, a very loved rescue cat who faced a serious medical emergency after months of illness. After Emilio&rsquo;s sister Pip became critically ill and sadly passed away, Emilio began showing similar symptoms only 48 hours later and was rushed to emergency care. His treatment quickly resulted in significant veterinary expenses, and Hope Lives Here stepped in to help. From there, the Edmonton arts community came together with one goal: turn some very high vet bills into an afternoon of laughter while raising money for animals who need help. 🎁 Silent auction&nbsp;with more than $1,000 in prizes, giving you even more ways to support the rescue while enjoying the show. 🛍️ Hope Lives Here merchandise will also be available for purchase during the event. Ticket, donation and silent-auction proceeds from Comedy Catbaret are intended to support Hope Lives Here Animal Rescue and the animals in our care. Come laugh with us, support local performers and help us continue saying yes when an animal needs veterinary care. 💙🐾 Tickets are limited &mdash; especially VIP &mdash; so grab yours early!
