Rock Cats Rescue, Inc

Rock Cats Rescue, Inc. aims to save cats one click at a time. We accomplish our mission through three different means:

1. educate the public about the physical and emotional benefits of clicker training,

2. rescuing and fostering homeless cats and,

3. initiating clicker training programs in animal shelters across the nation to increase adoption and retention rates.

The Amazing Acro-Cats, one of the four "cat shows" in the United States, perform to sold-out venues across the country. Their performances delight and astound audiences of all ages all over the country. The purr-forming purr-sonalities have as much fun as their audiences enjoying the lime-light and applause as they show off their agility and grace so synonymous with their species. On Samantha's cue, the Acro-Cats perform tricks with hoops, tumblers, skateboards, hoist flags, signs, even roll balls over parallel ropes! This astonishing show also includes performing rats and a cat v chicken competition!

Samantha Martin, owner and Master Trainer of the Acro-Cats, has had a lifelong fascination and unique bond with animals motivating her to study and earn her degree in animal husbandry and behavioral sciences, to intern and serve at the Brookfield Zoo, and to master and then advocate clicker training techniques for building richer and more meaningful relationships between animals and humans.

As an expert animal trainer Samantha has supplied her talent for training and handling animals for everything from commercial and industrial advertising work for Wal-Mart, PetCo and PetSmart, music videos work for headlining music groups like Megadeth and MTV projects, film projects work for Animal Planet and New Line Cinema and an appearance on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno!

Samantha's professional resume is outshined only by her alluring and charming personality. The Acro-Cats show has re-defined live animal performance with her wonderfully unique blend of, first and foremost, genuine love and respect for the animals, mixed in with delightful spectacle, candid humor, public education, and true dedication to funding, promoting and assisting animal welfare and shelter groups wherever she performs. The majority of The Amazing Acro-Cats were adopted from shelters.  Master Trainer Samantha Martin whole-heartedly encourages adopting shelter and rescue animals. Keeping with that belief, she fosters and trains shelter kittens at home and on the road. These foster kittens are a heart-warming part of the Acro-Cats performances as they eagerly wait for their new fur-ever home!
