This ingenious hybrid of hammock and tent created by a British company may be a versatile camping shelter, not affected by the unfavorable ground conditions.

Lynea Lattanzio runs a unique cat shelter in her very own 12 acre Parlier, California home. For 19 years she has been housing, feeding and tending to a growing number of feline friends, at a current cost of $5,700 a day and $40,000 a week! She receives donations and volunteer help to keep the “Cat House” thriving.

This is a collection of cats found on the streets, in kennels where they were waiting to be euthanized, vivariums and shelters. Love and patience can make real miracles, turning a street cat into a beautiful, happy and true pet friend.

Founded in 2007, this House of the Beautiful Flowers has now become a home for 23 elderly retired prostitutes. It is located in Tepito, Mexico, and it’s named after Casa Xochiquetzal, Aztec goddess of love and women.

The idea of creating such a retirement center belongs to former prostitute Carmen Munoz. She was shocked seeing her old “colleagues” sleeping in the streets. She spent years trying to convince the government to support her idea, and she finally was given an old 18th century house that is now transformed into a retirement home run by the government that can accommodate 45 former sex workers who should be at least 60 years old.

The story of these women was a part of a documentary created by CNN. It shows that no matter how difficult the life of these prostitutes is, as they have no home, and their children barely visit them in the House of the Beautiful Flowers, they continue to live and even smile.

Caboodle Ranch is a 100-acre cat sanctuary created by a certain Craig Grant, in 2003. This paradise for cats is located in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. It is now home to over 500 happy cats.

This huge natural shelter for homeless cats is composed of lots of little houses, a city hall, a church, a water mill, ponds…

A lot of hard work for Craig Grant, but he is very happy like that with his cat army!

These photos are of a mobile homeless shelter that was designed by Paul Elkins. The shelter weighs 225 pounds empty and includes simple storage, a makeshift washroom, a kitchen, and a sleeping area. The roof acts as a rain catcher which collects free water. I think it is rather a good idea and well designed.
