Premise

In the fictional city of Kittydale, an indoor playground is where children play with the place's resident cats Ginny, Sparks, Buddy, and Bitsy. When trouble occurs in the city, the cats' collars flash and sound with the words "Kitty Cat, Kitty Cat" as they are called into action by whoever contacts them. The cats enter their underground headquarters called the SuperKitty Cavern and transform into the SuperKitties, who possess special abilities and access to tools they can use to help the citizens. They use these tools to solve problems while showing kindness to everyone, including the villains causing the problems in the first place.

Characters

SuperKitties
  • Ginny (voiced by Emma Berman) - The leader of the SuperKitties. She has claws that allow her to climb and poke objects.
  • Sparks (voiced by Cruz Flateau) - The smartest of the SuperKitties. He uses his high-tech devices from his SuperKitty Kit to help with cases and connect with the citizens. Sparks' SuperKitty Kit can produce any gadget or turn into any mode of transportation including the SuperKitty Copter.
  • Buddy (voiced by JeCobi Swain) - The largest of the SuperKitties and Sparks' brother. He possesses super-strength and has the ability to perform a "furball blitz" which allows him to roll into objects.
  • Bitsy (voiced by Pyper Braun) - The smallest of the SuperKitties who can harness super-speed with her "Bitsy Boots". The newest member of the team, she records her lessons from the case in vlogs on her tablet, concluding with the comment "And I'm taking that to heart!" followed by a wink. Bitsy will often say "Oopsie-kitty!" after making mistakes, even when the SuperKitties assume their superhero appearances.
