WOW! Came here on a Sunday with the girls and it was the perfect detox from a weekend. I love how the staff made everything clean with hand washing and sanitizer before and after playing, touching the kitties. There is a Cat room and a Kitten room you can hop back and forth from. The cats are super friendly and you are able to play with them using different toys in each room. I also love how they had binders with information on each cat including names, age, etc, in order to really learn about each one !

There were so many cats! The people running it are incredibly nice. It was a magical way to spend an hour. And the money goes to a wonderful cause, helping find homes for loving kittycats. You will definitely want to adopt a cat when you visit.

They’re all precious angels and everyone should go here and give them good homes!! The place is clean and well kept. All the kitties are so well taken care of in the interim of finding their forever homes.With the one hour time window, allowing only ten people in at a time… you are guaranteed quality time with each cat in a free roam setting to find your new family member.Thank you Catsbury for keeping these babies safe and giving them a chance to find a new home!

I came here on a Saturday and it was great! You have to buy the tickets online before coming in and only 10 people are allowed at a time. The cats are very well treated. They have plenty of food, plenty of water, plenty of toys. The employees and the volunteers really care about the cats here. The workers know their personality. It is amazing to see so much kindness. It is a must visit for cat lovers.

My kids and I love Catsbury Park! Perfect hour of hanging out with every cat personality you can imagine. Kitties and space are clean and well-kept, and the staff is very attentive to the needs of both cats and visitors. It's a real gem.

We love Catsbury Park and all they do help care for and find homes for cats in the area! If you are considering adopting a cat, go visit and if you want to spend time with cats and support the initiatives of Catsbury Park, go visit!

Exceptionally clean and enriching environment for the cats (and the visitors). The best shelter for cats I have ever seen. Highly recommend a visit if you are looking to adopt or just get some feline love!

I treated myself to a birthday with cats and I wasn't disappointed. The cats were friendly and fun. Two took over my lap and others joined in. I wound up sponsoring an adoption for Sweet Caroline. I will go back long before my next birthday.

My 10 year old daughter and I had so much fun with the cats on Saturday we came back Sunday and are planning to adopt. The cats were adorable, the staff was very helpful and professional. Great place just to visit or to consider adopting from.

Not the same location it used to be downtown. Last time I was here, I was able to walk in the coffee shop. If you wanted to sit with the cats, it was optional. Now, it appears to be an appointment only in some kind of hvac warehouse. You have to ring the door and hope someone answers to let you in only to find out you need a reservation to even go inside.

Blessed to have them. Recently helped me rescue a friendly momma and 4 kittens from Long Branch. All five are doing great and up for adoption. Please consider this organization if you have a donation list. These 5 would not have been given an inside life without them.

Catsbury has the most wonderful and caring people who drop everything to rescue our local cats/kittens. I wanted to address all the posts of people who are comparing the new location to the cafe on Cookman. While the cafe on Cookman was adorable and unique, Covid forced many changes upon us all, and the cafe couldn't sustain itself without patrons, but their rescue work still quietly continued until they could find a suitable new home. The take away here is that Catsbury is ultimately a bonafide rescue, and the cafe was a means to allow the cats to interact with the community. And while some may not be as happy with the current set-up, it is still awesome and run by incredible, caring people who donate so much of their time and efforts to these beautiful animals. The new location is uplifting, immaculate and full of well fed and cared for cats who would otherwise be on the streets or living in sub par circumstances. So, Catsbury is still doing a great service and we all have to be more understanding that appointments need to be made in advance and space is limited and maybe it looks different than the cafe, but it is still a very rewarding and fun experience and the feline residents all love seeing us! Thanks to DJ and crew for always answering my call and going the extra mile:)

This is a cool cafe with coffee, tea, snacks, and cats. There are vegan and gluten free options. They have WiFi, and for a donation, you can sit with the cats on the premises. A nice way to relax and get friendly with the felines. Each cat has a story and they are available for adoption. A unique and interesting way to help find homes for cats. The place is clean and has plenty of kitty furniture and toys. Quite inspirational.

I had a great visit at Catsbury Park. Volunteers and staff were wonderful and it was a lot of fun to play with the cats and kittens. The cats look very healthy and happy. I would definitely consider adopting from them. See you again Catsbury Park!

Amazing time full of kitty cuddles. The staff and volunteers are wonderful - knowledgeable, and very helpful. While the kitties are up for adoption, we did not feel pressured during our visit. Treats are provided when you come in, they have a binder with bios and health information for each cat, the room is engaging with lots of toys, scratching posts, and relaxation zones. Appointments are required, but easy to make and they are very responsive to emails.

An adorable cafe/cat space. I enjoyed the experience. My only consideration for not rating 5 stars, the cat room was a bit crowded at our visit. A Saturday, so believe me I am understanding and glad they are raising money to help care for the cats. But overall, It was not so easy to spend time with the cats. I understand they may be in process of raising funds to expand the cat space, and that would be a brilliant upgrade for the cats, and for visitors/ potential adopters 😊 My advice for potential visitors who prefer more less crowding, call ahead and find out the quieter visitor hours.

Had a great time here! Food and drinks are slightly pricey but everything was delicious, so it was worth it. The half hour in the cat room was the fastest half hour of my life, haha. The staff was super friendly, as were the cats! If you're looking to adopt, their fees are reasonable too! Looking forward to another visit!

Was a last minute decision to go by and so glad I did! So many adorable kitties and cats to play with. Please go check them out and share some love!

It's a really clever concept that helps to support their mission of rehoming cats. They recently moved to a new space. and there definitely wasn't the same feel as before. It was a small room with not many places to sit and play with the cats. Nonetheless the staff were really friendly and helpful. Me and my daughters had a great time.

Lovely, sweet cats. The cafe worker (barista?) was really nice as well! I've been to other cat cafes, and the cats were pretty annoyed and unapproachable. Luckily, it seemed this place has a bit less traffic in and out, so they were very nice!!All cats are adoptable too (;

We had the best time visiting the kitties! Definitely has us wanting to return and bring some furry friends home with us! 🐈❣️🐈‍⬛

The place is very nice but it felt like there weren't enough cats in the room. For a space that size, 10 or 11 cats isn't a lot because some hide in the back room or sleep, others don't want to be touched or have anything to do with you. The amount of cats seemed little when I was there on a pretty empty Thursday afternoon, I can only imagine how difficult it is to play with and pet the cats on a busy weekend.

We had an amazing time at our recent visit to Catsbury Park! The team is well versed on the current residents’ quirks and preferences. The cats have lots of different enrichment opportunities (various toys, cat trees, and cozy spots) and they have a great binder with bios on each cat’s personality. The current space does not have a cafe setup so I recommend it for someone who first and foremost just really wants to hang out with some cats 😊 or is looking to adopt!

Good tea selection and delicious snacks but lets be honest.. It's all about the cats!!! Very comfortable sitting area and very clean.

3 stars because of the current set up. This place is great! The bingo was a blast and the vibe was chill/family but not sterile.They're currently raising money to expand so the cats can have a bigger more engaging room (and more people can go see the cats at a time!) They've got a plan and they're doing everything they can to meet their goals.I hope people find my 3 star review and frequent the place to help them meet their goal, and their customers' needs.

Great place to see cats and kittens! I love that they are helping animals in need, and the employees/volunteers really do seem they care lots about the cats and kittens. The kittens are very playful and me and my girlfriend had a great time there. They also allow you to feed them treats which was fun!

Love cats and I loved this place. I will definitely consider volunteering despite my allergy to cats

Absolutely wonderful place! The cattery is amazing - there is an entrance fee to it ($11 on weekends per person) but it goes towards helping more kitties!!

Wonderful space with lots of friendly cats and kittens. The volunteer staff is incredibly knowledgeable about each cat. Best of luck with the upcoming renovations!
