Pipa

Mixed Breed · Female

Pipa came to us under adventurous circumstances. A year ago, she was on a trip to Portugal with her owners. During the journey, Pipa used an unlocked window and jumped out of the camper. She hasn't told us where she stayed for a year. A coincidence has now led her to us. Pipa should find a new permanent home with outdoor access after settling in a quiet residential area. Pipa is a very loving, affectionate, and cuddly cat. No

Pipa kam unter abenteuerlichen Umständen zu uns. Vor einem Jahr war sie mit ihren Besitzern auf der Reise nach Portugal. Auf der Fahrt nutzte Pipa ein nicht fest verschlossenes Fenster und sprang aus dem Camper. Wo sie sich ein Jahr aufgehalten hatte, hat sie uns nicht verraten. Ein Zufall hat sie jetzt zu uns geführt. Pipa sollte ein neues endgültiges Zuhause finden mit Auslauf nach Eingewöhnung in ruhiger Wohnlage. Pipa ist eine sehr liebe, anhängliche und verschmuste Katze. nein

About Pipa

What life with Pipa looks like

Pipa is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Katzenschutzverein Karlsruhe e.V. 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.

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. Katzenschutzverein Karlsruhe e.V. 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 — Katzenschutzverein Karlsruhe e.V. 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 Katzenschutzverein Karlsruhe e.V. 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 (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.
