CHEEKS UPDATE! 🐾🎶

It’s been a few weeks since Cheeks moved into his foster home, and his amazing foster mom, Maria, keeps us updated almost daily! Their routine includes plenty of soft, soothing music because every cat deserves a little ambiance!

Maria shared: “Greetings from the music room! Sirius XM has a ‘Music for Cats’ channel with soft tunes, both classic and modern. Very soothing for Mr. Cheeks and his humble servant (moi) while dinner is served!”

Cheeks has a great appetite, his “sideburns” are growing in, and most importantly — he is slowly learning to trust. He’s even started accepting gentle pets!

We knew patience would be key in his recovery. While we may never know exactly what he endured, we do know it was traumatic. Maria is giving him the time and space he needs to heal, proving once again that fostering truly saves lives. We know Cheeks is thankful for her.

To everyone who has donated, shared, or simply cheered Cheeks on—thank you. You’re making this second chance possible for Cheeks.

Stay tuned for more updates on Cheeks as we follow his recovery.

ADOPTION STORY

GLITZY!

Senior adoptions always feel a little extra special, and Glitzy’s is one that truly warms our hearts.

After spending 12 years in a loving home, Glitzy found herself in an unfamiliar place when her caretaker passed away and there was no one left to care for her. She and her housemates were surrendered to us, and we promised to look after them until they found new families.

Good dental care is essential for every cat, and thanks to the generosity of City By The Sea Vets, Glitzy got the treatment she needed to feel her best. Their kindness and support gave her an even better chance at finding a home, and we couldn’t be more grateful for everything their team does for all animals. They are true heros!

Ami came to visit lounge, met Glitzy, and it was love at first sight! Glitzy seemed a little reserved, but the second Ami reached out to pet her, she melted into purrs. It was obvious they were meant to be and we were thrilled they found this connection.

Now, Glitzy is off to start her next chapter in a home filled with love. Ami, thank you for opening your heart to this sweet senior girl we know you will bring you so much joy! Wishing you both many happy years together, and all the purrs!

HAPPY SAINT PATRICK’S DAY! ☘️🐱

Did you know that in medieval Ireland, cats had their own laws? The Catslechta—or “Cat Sections”—were part of the ancient Brehon Laws and outlined the different types of cats (house cats, mousers, and even noble cats!), the responsibilities of their owners, and even the fines for harming a cat.

One particularly fun detail? Cats were exempt from blame if they injured someone while in pursuit of a mouse because, well…the mouse catching business was serious work!

Cats weren’t just pest controllers in Ireland; they were respected companions, often found in monasteries alongside scribes and scholars. One of the most famous Irish poems, Pangur Bán, written by a 9th-century monk, tells the story of a white cat and his human, both happily chasing their respective pursuits—Pangur hunting mice, and the monk seeking wisdom:

“This is how we swim in our world,
Pangur Bán, my cat and me;
In our arts we find bliss,
I have my path and he has his.”

So today, let’s raise a paw to our feline friends and celebrate their special place in history! Wishing you all the luck of the Irish, and plenty of cat cuddles this Saint Patrick’s Day!

Cheeks Update!!

Cheeks has officially moved into one of our amazing foster homes! Now, he has a cozy bed, his very own toys, and a safe space where he can finally relax and heal. This is the fresh start he desperately needed, and we couldn’t have given it to him without you. (If you’re interested in fostering, you can apply on our website!)

The wounds on his face are healing nicely - and he’s even got fur growing back in!!

To everyone who donated, shared his story, and cheered him on - thank you. Your generosity made his rescue and recovery possible. Cheeks is living proof of why this work matters and just how much your support changes lives.

There are always more cats like Cheeks who need us. Every donation goes directly toward providing medical care, food, and safe shelter for cats in crisis. If you can, please consider giving—because together, we’re saving lives.

We can’t wait to share Cheeks’ continued progress with you. We will keep sharing updates from his foster Momma, so stay tuned for more Cheeks updates!

ADOPTION STORY
📖
JACK !

This little nugget was not at Catsbury long - but boy did he make an impact in the time he was here!!!

Jack was in the lounge for less than a week before he found his forever home. If you were lucky enough to book a visit while he was here, then you probably understand why he got scooped up so quickly! This little guy absolutely loves attention, and love. He also enjoyed jumping on our staff and volunteers backs while we cleaned, and overall - he is just FULL of purrs!!!

Jennifer applied for pre-approval back in December, and came by the lounge with her kiddos to meet the adoptable cats when Jack had graduated to the lounge. Right away, they knew Jack was meant to join their family. He not only gained two human siblings, but he’s also got a kitty sister and a doggy friend to grow and play with!

Jennifer - we wish you and your family (which now includes Jack!) a lifetime of happiness and purrs. Thank you for giving this sweet little guy a home — we know he is in good hands with you 🧡

Last weekend, we got an urgent call from a fellow rescuer about a cat in serious trouble. Cheeks, as we’ve come to call him, had shown up a colony — but instead of finding safety, he was being badly beaten up by the other cats.

Once we saw Cheeks and his wounded body we knew the idea of putting him back outside felt more like a death sentence than a release. That's where we stepped in. He's no spring chicken-at least 8 years old, FIV+, and covered in wounds from fighting for survival.

Thanks to a kind trapper & foster, he had a safe place to stay for the first few nights. Thanks to City By The Sea Vet, he got the care he needed. Thanks to you, he has a real chance at a better life.

We just got his lab results back, and while his bloodwork looks good, he still needs time to heal, recover, and feel safe again-something he's likely never known.

This is why we do what we do. But we can't do it alone. Ongoing veterinary bills for cats like Cheeks have put a strain on our resources as of late, and donations have been down year after year.

Here's how you can help:

💌Donate directly from this post
💌PayPal - PayPal.me/CatsburyPark
💌Venmo:
💌Checks: PO Box 1597, Asbury Park NJ 07712

Every single dollar makes a direct impact, keeping cats like Cheeks safe, cared for, and off the streets for good. Can't donate? A share, like, or comment helps more than you know.

Thank you for saving lives with us. Cheeks thanks you, too.

LUNA & MANGO

We had a feeling this brother and sister duo wouldn’t be at Catsbury very long - and we were correct!

Melissa and Alex reached out to us when they discovered a momma with some brand new kittens in their yard. They also let us know they were willing to foster and care for momma and her babies for as long as they needed, which was so wonderful to hear! We were so thankful they were willing to keep a nursing momma and her kittens together - and that Momma herself was healthy and able to produce for her kittens. The best chance a newborn kitten has is with a healthy momma cat!

Luna and Mango graduated to the lounge and were nothing but purrs and snuggles - oh, and conversation! Luna is a certified chatterbox and LOVES to talk, and wasn’t hesitant to greet anyone that came to see her.

Lidia and Tim were looking for a pair of kittens and as soon as they met Luna and Mango, they knew that was the pair they wanted to give a forever home to.

Fostering truly saved lives here. We can’t do the work we do alone, and these adoptions wouldn’t be possible without our team of selfless foster parents. Thank you Melissa and Alex for giving these cats the best lives possible. If you’re looking to get involved, you can fill a foster application out on our website today.

Tim and Lidia - we are so happy for you both and so thankful you gave Luna and Mango the forever home they deserved. We wish you many years of love and purrs!!!
