Adventures of LIL Bub

[cassiesmom]

Hey Guys! I'm coming to Chicago soon.

More details to follow... but here's the basics.

It'll be on October 10th. I will be doing a meet and greet at Urban Outfitters (limited admittance), and a screening of Lil BUB & Friendz at The Metro. There will also be a limited number of VIP/upgrade tickets available for the screening that include a post-movie Q&A, posters, and meet-and-greet with me. Tickets will go on sale this Saturday at noon - check www.metrochicago.com for more info.

All proceeds from the movie screening benefits Chicago's Tree House Rescue, and Urban Outfitters is making a very generous donation to Best Friends Animals from the proceeds of the super cool new BUB (me) merchandise that will be filling their shelves.

Sorry I don't have more to tell you... but all the details will follow very shortly. Please check BUB's Facebook page and website for updates.

OK GOTTA RUN LUB YOU GUYS
----
Edited to add: Tickets are $5 (standing room); $10 for seats; $20 for upgrade and $60 for the VIP tickets. Doors are at 8 PM.
Lub YOU, Bub! (All four pounds of you, ya little perma-kitten girl!)

SQUEE!! The question about her sleeping a lot to maintain her epic cuteness was mine, it was the question for which I won a ticket to meet Lil BUB and get her pawtograph.

BUB is TEENY! 4lbs is NOT a lot of kitty!

My word, she is smaller than Emily. Em weighs 6 lbs. I can hold her without straining or getting a hernia.

Lil Bub and her Dude visited Catster! http://www.catster.com/the-scoop/lil-bub-catster-visit

Excellent article! I think Bub brings out the best in us. And she and Mike are helping others too.

Awwwwwwwww! Dearest Lil Bub!!!

[cassiesmom]

I got an E-mail saying that Lil Bub has a brother, also a special needs kitty, named Bozz
Bub's Dude admits this has been a hard secret to keep. Please tell me this is an April Fool's joke.

Amigo is sitting here with me reading the posts. When he saw this and the word "party" he told me again what a great time all the kitties had on their meet & greet Catmobile trip. He asked if there's any chance of maybe getting the Catmobile again and going to see her when she's in Chicago. Pinot, what do you think?

Cassie sez... definitely let's get the Catmobile again and we can try going to Bloomington, Indiana to meet Lil Bub and her Dude If they're not available, we can bop around the Indiana University campus. Pinot, thoughts?

If you get Lil Bub's E-mails, you might already have seen this. She and the ASPCA have teamed up to do some really good things

Edited to add: I just realized that Lil BUB's big FUND raised $25,000 in three months! That's crazy awesome, Lil BUB!

Lil BUB's Big FUND NEWS

I am thrilled to announce that Lil BUB's Big FUND was able to raise $25,000 since it was announced in February of this year. Not only that, but in that time we received 64 applications for grants, and the wonderful folks in the grants department at the ASPCA were able to select recipients and distribute all $25,000 to twelve very deserving shelters with special needs animals.

I would like to congratulate and thank everyone involved, from the generous folks at the ASPCA, to the shelters that work so hard to save amazing animals like me, to my donors and you, who buy cool things with my amazing face to help me raise money, and those who donate directly whether it's to my fund, or to your local shelter.

As soon as the Fund hits another $25,000 the ASPCA will announce that they are accepting grant applications. Let's hope that's sooner than later!

Yes, I just got Lil Bub's e-mail, and what wonderful news!!!!!

Come See Me This Weekend

I am in the Bay Area, and there a number of ways to see me on Saturday. I'm involved with a couple amazing things, so please read carefully!

1) First Annual Intergalactic Feline Film Festival Opening Ceremony:
Q&A with ME and my DUDE
Premier of "The BEST OF Lil BUB's BIG SHOW"
Acceptance of The First Lil BUB Award for Outstanding Achievement in Cat
BUB Plush Toy Raffle for charity
Limited to 200, and can be purchased here:
http://www.thefirstannual.com/tickets

This Saturday at 12:00 pm
At The Roxie Theater
3117 16th St (between Valencia and Guerrero)
San Fransisco, CA

SFIFFAVFFH is a 2-week all-cat film festival condensed into 12 hours.

Percentage of proceeds will go to benefit SFSPCA, including sales from local hot dog institution Loc Dogs, who will be on hand selling Loc Dogs for Cats—custom veggie and non-veggie dogs.



2) Oakland CatVidFest and Meet and Greet

The Oakland CatVidFestis this Saturday from 3- 8 pm at the Great Wall of Oakland. All proceeds from CatVidFest ticket sales benefit the East Bay SPCA. The whole point of this event, and my meet and greet, is to help raise money for animals in need!

I will be introducing the screening of the CatVidFest reel on stage, and I will also be holding a Meet and Greet...

To Meet me:
You will first need to buy a ticket to the CatVidFest, which will be an amazing and wonderful experience in and of itself. Then you will also need to buy an additional ticket for my meet and greet. 100% of the proceeds of these tickets will be split evenly between the East Bay SPCA and Lil BUB's Big FUND.

PURCHASE YOUR TICKETS HERE

1) $20 - Meet me, take a photo w/me, get an exclusive photo print signed and personalized by me
2) $50 - All of the above PLUS YOU CAN PET AND KISS ME!
3) $75 - Pet and Kiss me PLUS YOU GET A BUB PLUSH TOY courtesy of Cuddle Barn!

There are less than 65 tickets left! Only 5 plush toys left!

The reason it costs so much to meet me is because it allows me to raise an enormous amount of money for charity. Your ticket purchase is actually a very generous donation to animals in need, with the added perk of getting to meet me. If this event sells out, we will have raised more than $7,500 in only a couple hours. THAT's MAGIC.
