About Us
Building stronger cat-rescue communities, together.
The Acatemy is Cat Hustler’s flagship annual event: a weekend-long conference created for rescuers, fosters, and advocates who want to learn, connect, and recharge with the people who truly “get it.”
Our Story
What It Is
Launched in 2019, The Acatemy has become the annual meeting ground for cat-rescue leaders, volunteers, fosters, and innovators from across the country.
The conference blends practical workshops, heartfelt storytelling, and the kind of hallway conversations that spark real collaboration.
Why It Matters
Rescue work can be isolating. The Acatemy exists to give rescuers the professional community they deserve — and to show the world the depth, skill, and dedication behind every cat adoption.
How It Happens
Each year’s event is powered by registration fees and partnerships with companies that share our mission to strengthen the rescue community.
Their support helps keep attendance affordable and allows us to bring in expert speakers, better resources, and new opportunities for connection.
(That last paragraph quietly signals sponsorship potential without “selling.”)
The Acatemy is produced by Cat Hustler, an independent network connecting rescuers, fosters, and community-minded partners since 2016.
