Thanksgiving with the Cats

Now in its eighth year, Thanksgiving with the Cats 2026 will take place on Saturday, November 21st, from 12-4pm at Tabby’s Place: a Cat Sanctuary. Cat lovers from around the country will gather for this feline family reunion.

Thanksgiving with the Cats is “hosted” by 140 resident felines, each of whom was rescued from a hopeless situation. Cats like Willow, born paraplegic, and Baby, a senior with diabetes, once had nowhere to turn. But Tabby’s Place gathers the forgotten around love’s table. 

And on 11/21, the public is warmly invited to join them.

Designed as a peaceful pause before the holiday hullaballoo, Thanksgiving with the Cats includes:

• Free tours of Tabby’s Place
• Opportunities to hand-feed the cats a Thanksgiving meal
• Festive refreshments
• A one-of-a-kind pop-up gift shop
• Four hours of cozy purrs before the hectic season begins

Thanksgiving with the Cats is free to attend, but Tabby’s Place gratefully welcomes donations to nurture its cats. Supporters can give online or by mailing a check to Tabby’s Place at 1100 US Highway 202, Ringoes, NJ, 08551. Thanks to generous benefactors, all donations received by 12/31 will be matched.
