More Than Cats and Dogs: Discover the Diverse Animal Talent at Urban Paws Agency
When people think of an animal talent agency, they usually picture dogs and cats appearing in films, television shows, and advertising campaigns. While these familiar companions remain incredibly popular, Urban Paws Agency is proud to represent a much wider variety of animal talent.
As a leading animal talent agency in the UK, Urban Paws works with production companies, brands, photographers, and casting teams to provide professional animals for film, television, advertising, and media campaigns. Our roster includes everything from beloved household pets to more unusual and memorable species that bring originality and personality to creative projects.
Meet Our New Rat Talent: Tofu, Patrick, Charlie & Grape 🐀✨

We’re excited to introduce four of our newest stars: Tofu, Patrick, Charlie, and Grape.
These adorable rats are here to challenge outdated stereotypes and prove that rodents deserve their moment in the spotlight, too. Intelligent, curious, and full of personality, they offer something refreshingly different for brands and productions looking to create memorable visual content.
Tofu, Patrick, Charlie, and Grape are also happy to be handled and confident in studio environments. They remain calm on set, respond well to direction, and bring a unique charm that immediately captures attention. Moreover, they are well-socialised and comfortable around people.
For campaigns looking to stand out, these tiny performers provide character, humour, and a talking point audiences won’t forget. Sometimes, the smallest talent can make the biggest impact.

Animal Talent Beyond the Expected
Urban Paws specialises in representing a wide range of animals for film, television, and advertising. While dogs and cats remain a core part of our roster, we are also proud to work with many other species that can help elevate creative projects.

- Farm animals, including goats, sheep, pigs, chickens, ducks, and more
- Birds with striking appearances and engaging personalities
