Description
The Acro-Cats, featured in the Netflix docu-series Cat People, are coming to Fort Worth.
This troupe of trained domestic house cats, all former orphans, rescues, and strays, give a one-of-a-kind purrformance that includes cats riding skateboards, jumping through hoops, ringing bells, balancing on balls, and performing other feats of agility and entertainment.
The show finale is the only all-cat band in the world: Tuna and the Rock Cats. The Rock Cats play guitar, drums, and piano, and they've been joined by the Jazz Cats on saxophone, trumpet, and clarinet.
Using the magic of clicker training, Samantha (and a few other humans) travel with over 20 cats and kittens all across the United States, educating and entertaining audiences that cats actually can be trained while she tenaciously continues to save the lives of cats and kittens through rescue, foster, and adoption.
The Acro-Cats tour to support the nonprofit Rock Cats Rescue, which focuses on saving cats through cat welfare, rescue and adoption. The Acro-Cats show promotes the importance of bonding and training cats with positive reinforcement, while also finding homes for rescued cats. Since 2009, Rock Cats Rescue has found homes for 320 kittens.
In addition to being on Cat People, the Amazing Acro-Cats have been featured on national TV shows including The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Animal Planet's Puppy Bowl, CBS News Sunday Morning, and PBS Nova's Cat Tales. Follow the Acro-Cats online at facebook.com/RockCatsRescue.
