BIO:
The Savitsky Cats is a family from the Ukraine that consists of mother Svitlana, daughter Marina, son Misha, and their 10 adorable cats.
Svitlana started to train her first cat when she was 10 years old. From childhood, she dreamed of becoming a performer and training lions and tigers, however, when she grew up, she understood that cats are the same predators - just a lot smaller.
Twenty years later, Svitlana and her daughter, Marina, perform together with their amazing cats - Ulia, Chupa, Topa, Asia, Dasha, Matros, Eddy, Linda, Tosha, Mickey, and sometimes including their dog, Elizabeth, as well!
The Savitsky Cats have performed all over Europe including in Germany, France, Ukraine, Latvia, Estonia, as well as in the Middle East. Some of their most notable overseas credits include annual appearances at the Christmas Show L'arbre de Noёl in France, the 26th International Festival of Massy (also in France), and until recently, they were the official animal trainers for the State Circus Company of Ukraine.
In addition to being favorites of the elite and social crowd in Europe, with their recent appearances on America's Got Talent, "the biggest stage in the world," it's fair to say that the Savitsky Cats have now become beloved by audiences worldwide.
