No trip to Amsterdam is ever complete without a visit to the famous Poezenboot, known in English as the cat boat. This floating cat sanctuary, located on a boat in Amsterdam's picturesque canal belt the Singel, is one of the city's main tourist attractions. It's been on my bucket list ever since I first heard about it and I finally had the chance to stop by this past Tuesday.
Seen a kitty you like? Know that most of them are available for adoption. Those that remain at the cat boat can be financially supported.
