7 Places Every Cat-Lover Should Visit

If you're a cat person in need of a hefty dose of snuggle time, you might try hitting up a nearby shelter or local cat café — because even if you have your own cats at home, sometimes it just feels good to be surrounded by a dozen kitties. But, imagine going to a place where cats actually outnumber humans. Sounds totally epic, right?

Well, the reality is a bit more complicated. Feral-cat colonies do exist, but life is tough out there for our furry friends in the wild. These are generally places where food is scarce and the outdoor strays — often abandoned by their former owners — are an unwelcome presence in the community.

Luckily, there are exceptions to this sad situation. We're highlighting a handful of enclaves that have managed to turn things around with the help of local animal organizations and become bona fide tourist hot spots in their own right.
