    De Poezenboot is a cat boat where rescue & stray cats/kittens, and people who can't take care of their cats drop off the cute furry babies off etc. It's weird I'm not a cat or dog person but then taking care of my sisters cat (3 years old) and our 20 year old cutie (Choti).... I've realized I miss my furry baby a lot on vacation. Solution- finding rescue places or cat cafes etc. Well finding a cat boat in Amsterdam was amazing. This place is pretty awesome because they have been open for over 50 years. They are based off of donations so please contribute when you visit. Many cats are permanent residents of this boat but some are up for adoption if your local. The employees are super nice and answer any questions. Side Note- They have a note for which cat might scratch or be aggressive. Well victory- that sour baby didn't scratch me when I pet him. Guess cats think of me as a cat person.... Helpful note- Book online for a time slot, they get busy and are only open 1PM-3PM -5 out of 7 days

    Must visit place for any cat lover! What a great concept for an animal shelter. All run from donations, so please bring some cash and purchase something in their small shop to support their awesome organization. Meow!

    You must come if you're a cat lover! My Lonely Planet guidebook said that the shelter houses 40 cats, but there were only about 20 when I visited. Some of the cats were in the cages, and some were out and about. Most of them were pretty mean and vicious though; if you try to pet them they might run away or bite you. Some of them were pretty nice. Admission is free but they welcome donations.

    This was such a lovely little place. The people who worked here are so sweet, and just amazing human beings. There was an injured pigeon and four people were fussing over its health. It's really nice to see. And the kitties are all so adorable! The vampire kitty was the sweetest of them all! =D

    I was in crazy cat lady heaven! What a wonderful place and wonderful cause! Give them all of your money! They are strictly donation funded so every little bit helps in the care of feeding of these sweet kitties. They also do all they can to find them homes and won't separate partnered pairs. I really loved visiting this place! A unique attraction for sure!

    See all
