Cat lovers all over the world are purring with excitement for the “Catsbury Park” Cat Convention, the East Coast’s biggest cat convention, taking place April 7 and April 8, 2018 at Conventional Hall and The Paramount Theatre in Asbury Park.

General admission tickets to the event will grant attendees access to Convention Hall, which will have scores of vendors, events and activities throughout each day such as Cat Trivia, Cat Bingo, a Cat costume competition, DJs spinning cat-themed soundtracks, a tattoo booth set up for Cat-related tattoos, face painting, a Cat art show, and even cat-themed tarot card readings! Celebrity cats including Lil Bub (1.7 million Instagram followers) and Nala Cat (3.5 million Instagram followers), will appear alongside human heroes Kitten Lady, Paul the Cat Guy, and others. Oskar the Blind Cat, celebrated for his inspirational contact with children, was slated to appear before his untimely passing last month. Oskar’s owner, along with his best cat-friend, Klaus, will instead be on hand to launch to Oskar & Klaus Foundation. (Certain meet-and-greets and presentations as well as Cat Yoga will require a separate ticket).

“Since we opened Catsbury Park in September 2017 we have been floored by the overwhelming love and support from the community,” said DJ Bornschein, Founder, Catsbury Park. “We’ve already had over 100 adoptions. The Catsbury Park Cat Convention is our way of giving back to the cat loving community of New Jersey on an even larger scale. We are thrilled to be hosting so many cats, cat lovers, and presentations at the historic Convention Hall on the boardwalk of America’s coolest small town!”

The proceeds from this event will go to Catsbury Park as well as other local rescues, shelters, charities and or organizations, including: The Brodie Fund, Jersey Shore Animal Foundation, Camden County Animal Shelter, Paul the Cat Guy, and Asbury Boardwalk Rescue Inc.
