The Catsbury Park Cat Convention — a celebration of cat adoption and all things feline — returns to Bell Works in Holmdel, NJ, on October 10 and 11.
According to press release, “This year’s Catsbury Park Cat Convention features an exciting lineup of returning fan favorites and first-time guests, offering attendees the chance to hear from some of the most recognizable names in the cat world and beyond. Renowned cat behavior expert, bestselling author, and animal advocate Jackson Galaxy returns to the convention, bringing his signature insights on feline behavior, enrichment, and the human-cat bond. Also returning is Adam “Cat Man” Myatt, whose engaging presentations and popular CAT MAN BINGO have become a convention tradition, blending cat trivia, humor, and audience participation.
Making his Catsbury Park debut this year is Jersey Shore comedian and content creator Drennon Davis, whose wildly popular “Business Cats” videos have attracted millions of views and a loyal online following with their clever blend of comedy and feline antics.
The convention is also thrilled to welcome back Sterling “TrapKing” Davis, founder of TrapKing Humane Cat Solutions and one of the nation’s leading voices for Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR), community cats, and equity in animal welfare. Through his advocacy, education, and outreach, Sterling has inspired countless individuals to support humane solutions for outdoor cats while making animal welfare more accessible and inclusive for all communities.”
Outside of these special guests there will be opportunities to adopt and foster cats. There will also be education presentations, interactive activities, a Vendor village featuring artists, makers, pet-focused businesses, and local rescue organizations.
The event was founded in 2016 by D.J. Bornschein, the former stage manager for The Bouncing Souls (who some may remember by the name DJ Values), who began running the event in Asbury Park. He would soon open NJ’s first cat cafe (located originally on Cookman Avenue, now located on 3rd Avenue). The mission of the festival and cafe is to promote “a world where no cat or kitten has to go without a home or affordable access to spay and neuter.”
