Amsterdam is taking a compassionate step to protect its feline residents by investing €100,000 in installing tiny wooden staircases along its iconic canals 🏞️. These staircases give cats, ducks, hedgehogs, and other small creatures a way to escape if they accidentally fall into the water .
The idea was inspired by a similar project in Amersfoort, another Dutch city, where 300 wildlife exit ladders were installed 🪜. The results? Fewer animal drownings, fewer emergency calls, and a happier community😊.
In 2025 alone, 19 cats drowned in Amsterdam’s canals 🐱💔, prompting outcry from pet owners and animal lovers. These staircases aim to reduce animal drownings and help the city coexist more safely with its furry and feathered residents.
