On January 13, 1960, a dyke north of Amsterdam burst, flooding a suburb and forcing residents to flee. Amid the chaos, many clutched their pets as lifeboats carried them to safety. In the days that followed, hundreds of animals, around fifty cats among them, were rescued from the rising waters.

In the 20th century, animal shelters evolved into places where animals were rescued for potential adoption, offering them a chance to embark on a new life.
One notable example is the renowned Poezenboot (Cat Boat) in Amsterdam.
