## Paid Cat Actor Casting Call, Los Angeles, CA We are casting **cat actors in Los Angeles** for a paid branded Instagram video produced for a major social media publisher and sponsored by a leading cat food brand. The creative concept features cats living in an **“influencer house”**, doing their best influencer impressions, posing in front of ring lights, taking selfies with their food, showing off for the camera, and potentially performing simple tricks or behaviors. Creative is still being finalized, so cats with unique skills, tricks, behaviors, or strong personalities are encouraged to submit. If your cat does something funny, unusual, adorable, or impressive, tell us. There may be an opportunity to incorporate it into the final concept. ### Production Details **Location:** Los Angeles, California **Production Window:** October 19–26, 2026 **Shoot:** One shoot day within this production window, exact date TBD **Usage:** Paid Instagram usage only **Broadcast:** None **Social Posting Required:** No. Cats do not need to post the content on their own social media accounts. **Client Selects:** Expected by September 30 ### Seeking We are looking for **2 or more professional, trained, or camera-comfortable cats**, plus additional options to present to the client.
