Today someone told me about The Cat Boat. I do hope it's still there.
The Cat Boat is the only animal sanctuary in the Netherlands that literally floats. A refuge for stray and abandoned cats which, thanks to its unique location on a houseboat in Amsterdam's picturesque canal belt, has become a world-famous tourist attraction.
How perfect is that? I just checked the map and it's very close to my B&B. In fact, I think it's just on the street. Cat boat - Singel 38.G and my place - Singel 83. Yes, two matching Singels.
Note: It's only open 2 hours a day (1-3pm).
Added later: Damm I just noticed it's closed on Wednesdays. I keep thinking I'm in Amsterdam Thursday but I moved everything up a day.
