What better way to spend a Saturday than combining the chance to meet the three beautiful Bengal tigers from Australia Zoo with a special preview screening of Mike Myers latest flick The Cat In The Hat?

Well tomorrow you can – and tickets are even almost half their normal price for the occasion.

Birch Carroll & Coyle Sunshine Plaza is hosting this special event and tickets are on sale from the cinema now for just $7.

The screening is on at 10am tomorrow and all money raised from ticket sales will go to the Steve Irwin Wildlife Fund.

The three playful tigers, just 20 weeks of age, will be in the foyer from 9.15am.

Those attending the screening will also be able to bid for some unique “tiger art” which is sure to raise even more money for this great cause.

The male tiger cubs joined the Australia Zoo family last December in an effort to raise awareness of the pressures on the decline of tiger numbers in the wild.

Bengal Tigers are disappearing at an alarming rate because of habitat destruction and poaching. It is estimated that there are only between 2000 and 3000 Bengal Tigers left in the world.

The event is supported by Australia Zoo.For more information contact the cinema.The Cat In The Hat opens nationally next Thursday.
