American Museum of the Housecat

Calling all feline fans! We have just the cat collection for you. Dedicated to the house cat, this one-of-a-kind museum in Sylva features cat memorabilia throughout history. From a genuine Egyptian cat mummy dating from 300-30 B.C. to a petrified cat discovered in the chimney of a medieval home in England, you’ll find a treasure trove of cat artifacts. You’ll also discover cat sculptures both large and small, advertising pieces featuring cats as the spokeskittens, vintage and antique toys of cats, and other historic cat memorabilia. And if that wasn’t enough, this museum is also home to many cats looking for a furever home.
