How do I contact the shelter about Pia?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierasyl Chemnitz handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Pia on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Pia if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierasyl Chemnitz will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.

Is Pia already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?

Most cats on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.

What happens if Pia isn't the right fit?

Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Tierasyl Chemnitz early rather than rehoming privately; they know Pia and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?

TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (DE). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.

Pia

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Pia is a very special young cat who came to us as a found animal. At first very shy, she has developed into a curious velvet paw. She now approaches hands bravely, sniffs around, and even starts to sample treats. Every day she becomes more confident and discovers more. Pia is very social and would feel comfortable in a home where she can enjoy the company of another feline companion of a similar age. A playful partner could help her open up even further. Pia learns quickly and will surely learn a lot from a second, experienced feline friend about cohabitation and trust with people. We are looking for a home for Pia where she continues to receive the time and love she needs to fully develop her personality. An ideal home would be a quiet one where she can settle in at her own pace, preferably as a second cat. We wish for Pia a generous and suitable apartment with a cat-safe netted balcony. This cat is to be kept indoors only.

DE·Show original

Pia ist eine ganz besondere junge Katze, die als Fundtier zu uns kam. Anfangs noch sehr scheu, hat sie sich mittlerweile zu einer neugierigen Samtpfote entwickelt. Sie kommt mittlerweile mutig an die Hand, schnuppert und nimmt auch schon Leckerlis. Jeden Tag wird sie zutraulicher und entdeckt immer mehr. Pia ist sehr sozial und würde sich sicher in einem Zuhause wohlfühlen, in dem sie die Gesellschaft eines weiteren Katzenkameraden im ähnlichen Alter genießen kann. Besonders ein spielerischer Partner könnte ihr helfen, sich noch weiter zu öffnen. Pia lernt schnell und wird sicher auch von einem zweiten, erfahrenen Katzenfreund viel über das Zusammenleben und das Vertrauen zu Menschen lernen. Wir suchen für Pia ein Zuhause, in dem man ihr weiterhin die Zeit und Liebe schenkt, die sie braucht, um ihre volle Persönlichkeit zu entfalten. Ideal wäre ein ruhiger Haushalt, in dem sie in ihrem eigenen Tempo ankommen kann, gerne auch als Zweitkatze. Wir wünschen uns für Pia eine großzügige Wohnungshaltung mit vernetztem Balkon.

About Pia

What life with Pia looks like

Pia is a large young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierasyl Chemnitz in Germany.

An adult cat usually shows their personality within a week. Give them a quiet room with everything they need (food, water, litter, hiding spot) and let them choose when to explore. Don't force interaction — every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.
