About Catsbury Park Inc.

Catsbury Park Inc. was founded in July 2016 in Asbury Park by Jersey Shore native DJ Bornschein as a foster-based rescue. Per the website, DJ brought over 25 kittens into his home, got them vetted, spayed + neutered, and eventually adopted. He has since brought the first cat cafe to New Jersey, which opened in 2017, and also founded the Catsbury Park Cat Convention in 2018. Catsbury Park has helped hundreds of cats find their forever homes over the years, and has a mission to help save the lives of cats and kittens in need through rescue, TNR, and education at the Jersey Shore and beyond.
