The Amazing Acro-cats in Asheville!

Real Rescued Acrobatic Housecats Perform in Asheville!
Including the only all cat band in the entire world, live!

The Amazing Acro-cats Featuring Tuna and the Rock Cats are a troupe of touring performing house cats. One of the very few known events like this known to man, these talented animals roll on balls, ride skateboards, jump through hoops, and more!

The finale is the ONLY ALL-CAT BAND IN THE ENTIRE WORLD – Tuna and the Rock Cats! The current band lineup features NOLA on guitar, Asti on drums, Nue on keyboard, and NOW some brand new members: Ahi on woodblocks and Albacore on cowbell, Buggles on trumpet, and Oz on Saxophone. There is even a chicken – Cluck Norris – rockin’ the tambourine! “I can die happy now!” an audience member has claimed after seeing the band.

It all started with “Chief Executive Human” and cat lover Samantha Martin. Although she is currently battling stage 3 cancer, she continues to save the lives of cats and kittens through rescue, foster, and adoption. Training animals at a young age, she knew instantly she would be working with animals for the rest of her life. By founding Rock Cats Rescue, the real reason behind having a traveling animal show, she has saved the lives of over 195 cats and kittens. Using the magic of clicker training, Samantha and the other loyal humans travel with these felines all across North America, educating and entertaining audiences that cats actually can be trained as well as the benefits of these life saving techniques.

Featured on national TV shows like the 2017 Puppy Bowl broadcast on Animal Planet, Tuna and the Rock Cats did the half-time honors with a performance from Kitty Gaga in her vegan meat dress! Their most recent natonal appearance was on The AV Onion.
