A reminder of our fundraiser for Chiltern Cats Protection at The Little Theatre this evening – A Street Cat Named Bob.

Starring Luke Treadaway (Unbroken, Clash of the Titans) as James Bowen, A Street Cat Named Bob tells the moving and life-affirming true story of the unlikely friendship between a young homeless busker, James Bowen, and the stray ginger cat named Bob who changed his life.

Also starring Ruta Gedmintas (The Strain, The Incident) Joanne Froggatt (Downton Abbey, Filth) Anthony Head (Buffy The Vampire Slayer) and (of course) Bob, filming took place over six weeks in London, mainly in Covent Garden where James and Bob used to busk.

This screening is hosted by Chiltern Cats Protection, and all proceeds will go to their work improving the lives of cats and kittens in the Chilterns, working to find loving new homes for local cats in their care, offering support with neutering, and lost and found cats, as well as general education and awareness within the Chilterns area.

Saturday 12th October, 7.30pm
Screening at The Little Theatre
