Tabby's Place is a cat sanctuary situated in Ringoes, New Jersey, United States, opened in 2003.〔 It can house approximately 100 cats, which come primarily from high-volume public shelters where they have been scheduled to be killed. == Origins ==
The inception of Tabby’s Place began with a stray brown tabby cat. Jonathan Rosenberg, then Chief Technology Officer at CNET, and his wife Sharon adopted this cat and named him "Tabby". The Rosenbergs lost Tabby fifteen years later to untreatable squamous cell carcinoma.〔() New York Daily News: "How You Can Join the News in Helping Our Four-Legged Friends"〕 In honor of Tabby, Jonathan resigned from his job, cashed in his company stock options and invested more than US$2 million to create a new 501c-3 non-profit corporation called Tabby's Place.〔(CBS Evening News with Katie Couric ) Tabby's Place on CBS Evening News: "Millionaire Invests in Feline Futures"〕 The sanctuary's 500th intake was documented in 2007 in the ''Westchester Times Tribune''.〔() Westchester Times Tribune: "Former Internet CTO Reaches Feline Philanthropic Milestone"〕 Jonathan Rosenberg currently serves as unsalaried full-time executive director and Sharon as volunteer coordinator at Tabby's Place. Tabby’s Place cats and personnel are frequently seen in YouTube video shorts and the facility and its residents have been included in programming on Animal Planet's series, Cats 101.〔() Animal Planet's Series, "Cats 101"〕 The Rosenbergs’ work has been recognized by the New Jersey Veterinary Medical Association, which awarded Jonathan the 2005 New Jersey Veterinary Foundation Award,〔() NJVMA 2005 New Jersey Veterinary Foundation Winner〕 and the Supreme Master Ching Hai International Association awarded Jonathan and Sharon the Shining World Hero Award in 2009.〔(the Shining World Hero Award ) The Shining World Hero Award goes to the Rosenbergs〕 Most recently, the "SuperCats" of Tabby's Place were collectively nominated by the sanctuary's volunteers and won the New Jersey Veterinary Medical Association's 2011 Animal Hall of Fame Award.〔() NJVMA Animal Hall of Fame 2011 Winners〕 This group of cats continues to distinguish and endear themselves in the profound relationships between volunteers and their feline friends, a critical determinant in the NJVMA's choice in representing outstanding human-animal bonds.
