The Acro-Cats have been in our town for a couple of weeks, and my human finally was able to break away from everything she is doing to see them! The last time they were here was two years ago so she was really excited.
This trip to Los Angeles has not been the best for them. On opening night, their SUV was vandalized and a $2000 fiberglass replica of the show’s star, Tuna, was badly damaged. I snagged this image off the troupe’s Facebook page — isn’t that disgusting?
But that did not keep the cats down! They have continued to wow audiences throughout their run, and they will be doing more shows around California and the western United States for the next few months. You can see their upcoming schedule here.
My human brought her camera to the show she attended, of course. The Acro-Cats welcome photographers.
That does not mean that she got good pictures, though! She has lots of photos of blurry cats because the performers were always in motion!
Kitties walked on balls!
There was even dinner! Oops, I mean, a chicken performer.
And of course — the Rock-Cats!
And as always, Tuna played cowbell.
You want to know the best part of the show? It’s not all the awesome tricks, total cuteness or the purple props — it’s that all the feline performers are rescued cats. And the troupe’s head human, Samantha Martin, fosters. In fact, she has some month-old kittens on the road with her right now. They will probably be adoptable by the time they hit the northern West Coast. If the Acro-Cats come to your town, make sure you see them!
Love your Human’s pictures of the Acro-Cats! What a special show, my Human would love to see them someday!
Soo Cool!
Me wishes they could comes to Canada!

Truly AMAZING!! Sounds like your human had a ton of fun – except fr hearing about the vandalism. That’s just WRONG.
It is so very awesome that these are rescue kitties. Just goes to show how special all cats are!
I hope they come East

That’s terrible that some jerky person would vandalize the Acro-Cats stuff. What is wrong with some people?
We are glad your human got to experience them again — what a treat!
Their performance looks like so much fun! That horrible somebody vandalized the replica kitty – some peoples are just terrible. 😡
I’m glad it was the fiberglass Tuna and not the furry one that gotted damaged, though I am sorry ANYTHING got damaged at all. The Human is off to check the schedule!
It looks like it was quite the show!
We’d love to see them! But there are thousands of miles between us. We did check the schedule to see if they were in Vegas during the week of BlogPaws, but it wasn’t meant to be. Maybe they will come east sometime. We know their kitties are all rescues and that is just awesome!
I wonder when they’re coming East. I was furious when I read about the vandalism last week. Hiss!
We would love to see them. It’s awful about the vandals……that’s something we will never understand.

So sad about the vandalism but so wonderful about the cats and their wonderful mom!
Marty and Mom
Those kitties are so talented! Our mommy would love to see that show!
Who would have thought!
I would love to see their show.
I wish they’d hit Vegas!
WOW!! Bet that was a super show.
So good to see rescued kitties being fine stars!
Cats are simply amazing(may as well toot our horn)

Well, *we* know that cats are clever!
Disgusting what happened to them. I don’t understand why people are so stupid as to do stuff like that.
That is SO cool!!!
Glogirly would LOVE to see them.
How fun…and we loved the photos too!
: )
We’d love to see them!
This looks like so much fun to see in person! Sorry we missed them when they were in Boston. I can’t believe someone did that to their vehicle 🙁 but like true cats…the show must go on and it looked like it was PAWSOME. I wish Wubbikins could play the cowbell. On second thought…
we have heard of this from tv and was wondering if they go on tour. thanks for the tip sparkle. we’ll keep our eyes out for them when they come our way.
btw, we received the treats over the weekend. but the humans said we can’t have them just yet. apparently she’s going to set up the treat eating so she can blog about it. thanks a bunch!
Takes a lot of patience – from ALL participants!
Our mom loved going up on stage after the show she went to in the ChiTown ‘burbs a few years ago to meet the kitties in purrson! Your pictures are so much better than the ones the took!
That is simply amazing! What a wonderful bond the cats must have with their humans to perform 🙂
Amazing!! Who says cats can’t be trained! But maybe the humans were trained to set up the trick so the cats could do it. LOL Loved the photos.
I am sorry their statue was damaged–what is wrong with people? However, that is amazing and I would love to see them IRL!
That must be a really pawsome show.
Wow that looks so cool! We want to be acro-cats!!!
So cute! We’ve always wanted to see them and are never able when they pass through town. Next time!
I’ve never heard of the Acrocats! But they look fantastic and super talented. Too bad about the vandalism though…some people suck. I’m going to have to check and see if they’re going to ever be near us!
How fun. The calico and black & white look just like our Lily and Lisbeth. We can’t imagine trying to train either of them to do any tricks no matter how many treats were offered. Mom wishes she still lived on the West Coast so she could see the show. Purrs and paw-pats, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
what fun!!! mom follows them on facebook and loves seeing the foster kittens (and adoptions!) and keeps checking to see if they will get close to us.
How awesome is that, that the cats are all rescues? Pretty amazing. Ditto the comment that it would take a lot of patience (and love…and maybe a lot of treats too–lol) to train them.
We would sure love to see them perform!
What a fun show! And your human got some great pics, Sparkle!
That looks like lots of fun to watch! We will see if they are coming to Colorado 🙂
What a great crew!
Purrs,
The Chans
What a fun event and bravo for the show going on in spite of the nasty bit of vandalism.
Hugs madi your bfff
That is so terrific. Sparkle, your Mom is so lucky to see them. That is just amazing what they do. And what a wonderful thing for those rescued cats get to do. And look how well they have their humans trained. Take care and have a good day.
I think the best part of the show was the dinner/ChickHen
COOL that all the cat´s are rescued !!
XOXO
How absolutely amazing. I just wish they could visit here as I’d love to see them. Cats are amazing and can be trained, to a degree(!) but they totally work on trust rather than blind loyalty so for rescue cats to develop that trust says something very special.
We love them & their hoomans!!!!!
We were so surprised that the cats were rescued and it must have taken extra patience to get them to do all those things like walking on a ball. Amazing.
