Whatâs the purrâplot?
According to People, “the movie follows Cahill’s Olivia Pierce, “a marketing executive from Oakland, Calif., who is this close to realizing her dream of purchasing a condo, but sheâs a bit short on the down payment. When she learns that her late great aunt left her half of a cat café in upstate New York, she thinks itâs the Christmas miracle she needed â as long as she can sell and close the deal before the holidays.”
“Oliviaâs plan hits a bump in the road when she meets Dr. Ben Kane (Campbell), the veterinarian who owns the other half. The café serves an important role in the town â helping homeless cats find forever homes â and he has no intention of closing up shop. Christmas is the most important time of the year as they plan activities to help raise funds and get them into the black. Olivia and Ben strike a deal: she agrees to help him plan the fundraising events at the café over the next three weeks in exchange for Ben promising not to drag his heels on selling at the end of that time. Unless, Ben notes, she ends up changing her mind â a lot can happen in three weeks, after all.”
And finally People states, “As they work together and a spark between them grows, Olivia becomes part of the neighborhood, gains an appreciation for the caféâs adorable feline inhabitants and what it means to Ben, as well as to the entire community. And when she learns the surprising reason her great aunt opened the café in the first place, that just may be the cat-alyst for change that will give them all a Merry Christmas.”
“Christmas at the Catnip Café” will premiere this Christmas season as part of Hallmarkâs 16th annual Countdown to Christmas lineup.
