De Poezenboot (The Cat Boat) - Singel 38 G, Amsterdam, Netherlands

Cat lovers will enjoy De Poezenboot, a cat sanctuary that floats on an Amsterdam canal. Henriette van Weelde founded the water-borne cat sanctuary in 1966 and it has been home to many cats ever since. 14 cats are permanent residents, but the boat has been known to house as many as 50 cats at a time. Humans are welcome to visit, either to adopt a cat or just give a kitten some loving attention.
