PIPA

Chihuahua · Female · Adult · 6 years

Pipa is a very cuddly and greedy cat (and therefore, a little thief). She’s eagerly awaiting her forever family. She can live with both cats and dogs. She’s a big playful companion who’ll make you laugh and follow you everywhere. Pipa won’t be able to go outside, as she has chronic coryza, which doesn’t require any special care. She’s currently in a foster home, but feel free to contact the shelter for any additional information.

FR·Show original

Pipa est une chatte très câline et gourmande (par conséquent, c'est une petite voleuse). Elle attend avec impatience sa famille pour la vie. Elle pourras vivre avec des chats et des chiens. C'est une grande joueuse, qui vous fera rire, qui vous suivra partout. Pipa ne pourra pas sortir, car elle est atteinte de coryza chronique qui ne nécessite pas de soins particulier. Elle est actuellement en famille d'accueil, vous pouvez tout de même vous rapprochez du refuge pour toute information supplémentaire.

About PIPA

What life with PIPA looks like

PIPA is a adult chihuahua cat waiting at SPA Forbach in Forbach.

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 France

French refuges follow the SPA framework: adopters sign a cession contract that includes sterilization, vaccinations, microchip identification, and rabies passport. Fees are typically €150–€300. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting PIPA, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about PIPA?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. SPA Forbach handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw PIPA on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt PIPA if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — SPA Forbach 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 PIPA 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 PIPA 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 SPA Forbach early rather than rehoming privately; they know PIPA 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 (FR). 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.
