The show ran in syndication from 1993 to 1995, when it was canceled. There were a total of twenty-three finished episodes. There were also four unfinished episodes.

The show was based in the fictional metropolis of Megakat City, which is populated entirely by anthropomorphic felines, known as "kats".

Chance "T-Bone" Furlong and Jake "Razor" Clawson were members of Megakat City's paramilitary force, the Enforcers. While in pursuit of the villainous Dark Kat, the two rebelled against Enforcer Commander Feral's orders to fall back and leave Dark Kat to him. The direct disobedience to that order resulted in Dark Kat's escape and Chance and Jake's jet crashing into Enforcer headquarters. Because of the accident, they were discharged from the force by Commander Feral and were required to work at a salvage yard, also owned by Feral, to pay for their damages made in the Enforcers HQ. Using military junk from the salvage yard, they built an advanced jet fighter called the Turbokat (resembling several different aircraft, most notably, an F-14) and patrol Megakat City as the SWAT Kats, defending it against any kind of menace that it is too dangerous for the Enforcers to handle themselves. T-Bone and Razor keep their identities secret, from everyone, even from the deputy Mayor Callie Briggs. Their methods do not endear them to Commander Feral, a brave and resourceful character in his own right. Still, that does not stop them from protecting MegaKat City from all kinds of villains that appear.

SWAT Kats briefly returned to Cartoon Network on February 13, 2006, airing on Cartoon Network at 2:30 PM Eastern, with several of the season 1 episodes being shown in no particular order.[citation needed] This only lasted for one week, then Swat Kats was replaced by Ozzy & Drix in the 2:30 time slot on February 21, 2006. SWAT Kats is not currently listed on Cartoon Network's official schedule, but can now be seen on Cartoon Network's Sister Channel Boomerang at 11:30 PM EST. The show has not yet been released on DVD, although select episodes of the show were released on VHS in NTSC format. Since the early days of eBay, VHS copies of the entire series (recorded from television) have sold for considerable amounts.
