Catsbury Park

Catsbury Park, Asbury Park NJ

Project: Expansion

Catsbury Park was once just a dream that Founder DJ Bornschein had back in 2016, and since that day Catsbury Park has grown and accomplished more than anyone could have ever imagined. Hundreds and hundreds of adoptions, 3 cat conventions, a podcast, NJ’s first cat cafe, and thousands of lives changed forever, feline and human.

In 2020 when the world stopped, so did the cafe & adoption lounge. Closing their doors for what they hoped would be a brief time soon became the better part of a year. Eight months later, it became evident that they would not be able to open safely anytime soon. They made the difficult but responsible decision to close the door to the cat cafe on Cookman Avenue for good in early 2021.

Putting all of their efforts into TNR & building a foster program throughout 2021 meant that they could save over 160 neonatal kittens, place them in foster and find them homes. Not to mention, TNR'd over 300 cats in their community.

That brings us to where they are now. 2022, sitting in their new location. No longer in the heart of Downtown Asbury, but just a stone’s throw away from the hustle and bustle.

This new location boasts two rooms, the first, dubbed our “rescue room.” This space is the home base for continued rescue work through TNR and fostering. The second is their fun and inviting “Adoption Center,” a free-roaming cat’s paradise, similar to the lounge at the previous location. A space that is fun and engaging for cats and humans alike!
