Based on fragmented user reviews from Japanese BBS boards and archived MyAnimeList entries (which have since been removed), we can reconstruct a probable synopsis:
Young Meng lives in a coastal town with her inventor grandfather. She has no friends except two floating cat spirits named Myao and Myao (one pink, one blue). Meng discovers an old circus tent in the woods, inside which lies a pair of magical “acrobat boots.” When she wears them, she can perform gravity-defying stunts. However, a rival child—a grumpy boy named Karasu—wants the boots for himself. The “secret” is that every time Meng performs an acrobatic feat, a piece of her forgotten memory (about her missing parents) returns. The climax involves a high-wire battle over a canyon.

Putting it together: SCDV 28005 Myao Myao Meng Secret Junior Acrobat is almost certainly a rare, low-budget Japanese OVA from the early 1990s about a child (Meng) who possesses a secret identity as a flying or leaping acrobat, aided by a pair of magical cat spirits (Myao Myao).
A mint condition VHS of SCDV 28005 with the obi strip (the paper spine card) intact could fetch between $150 and $500 USD on Yahoo Auctions Japan or eBay, depending on condition and if the rental sticker is original.
