MEET MADONNA, DE BEDSTEE HOTEL, AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS

MEET THE CAT: MADONNA

This is a love story featuring De Bedstee Hotel In Amsterdam and their beautiful calico Madonna. This is the kind of story that makes our hearts purr with pride!  Two years ago, Madonna was wandering the streets alone and came every day to visit the reception at De Bedstee, a unique Dutch capsule hotel in the heart of Amsterdam. After watching her for a while, the owners realized she was visiting from the cafe across the road. The cafe management told them her story; that her previous owner had abandoned her in the cafe after seven years. Madonna was desperately looking for a family and did not enjoy the busy cafe life. After a few months visiting De Bedstee, together with the cafe management they all decided Madonna should pick where she liked the most to live. She picked De Bedstee for her forever home. And that’s how she officially became a resident cat.

Madonna is a calm and assertive kitty who has adjusted well to the role of feline in charge. She loves people and attention and is known to go crazy for a brush. Since moving in, she’s expanded her kitty tribe with a best friend Guus, a tiger cat from the neighbourhood and a girlfriend called Molly, whom she chases in the garden. In summer, you might spy her sunbathing, or watching the Amsterdam goings on from the window, one of the best vantage points in town.
