On June 23, the Mann Village Theater in Westwood, CA, hosted the premiere of Warner Bros.' CATS & DOGS summer family film.
Along with the premiere, the event also featured the canine and human stars tipping their toes into cement. These permanent foot and paw prints would later be auctioned off, with the proceeds going to benefit Animal Rescue Volunteers, a non-progit animal welfare organization that helps feed, house and provide medical attention, foster care and adoption services for resued animals.
Here are some of the highlights of the event:

Also there, of course, were the animal actors of the film, including Mr. Tinkles, Lou, Butch, Calico, Peep, Ivy, Sam and the Ninjas.
In addition, celebrity animals were in attendance as well, including Max from HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS, BEETHOVEN, Gidget the Taco Bell spokesdog, Salem the cat (SABRINA) and Snowball (STUART LITTLE).
