(HOLMDEL, NJ) -- Catsbury Park announces the return of the Catsbury Park Cat Convention, taking place October 10–11, 2026 for two full days of feline fun at Bell Works in Holmdel. The beloved annual event brings together cat lovers from across the region for a weekend filled with adoptable cats, educational presentations, celebrity guests, interactive activities, shopping, and community.

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.
Together, this year's special guests promise a weekend filled with expert advice, inspiring conversations, laughs, and unforgettable experiences for cat lovers of every age.
Catsbury Park was founded in July 2016 in Asbury Park, NJ, by Jersey Shore native DJ Bornschein as a foster-based rescue. DJ brought over 25 kittens into his home, got them vetted, spayed & neutered, and eventually adopted. That summer, DJ had the vision to expand Catsbury Park, open NJ's first cat cafe to help find homes for even more cats, and increase Catsbury Park's visibility. Inspired by his visit to Cat Town Rescue and the cat cafe in Oakland during his time in San Francisco, DJ brought this innovative idea to New Jersey.
Catsbury Park's vision is a world where no cat or kitten has to go without a home or affordable access to spay and neuter. They invite the community to join them in their mission to save the lives of cats and kittens in need. Whether through adoption, volunteering, fostering, or donations, all support makes a difference.
