Pipa

Norwegian Forest Cat · Female · Young · 1 year

Pipa, a female Norwegian Forest cat, was found on a rainy day seeking shelter under a trash can. She was very small, possibly 3 months old. Nearby, a cat lay dead, hit by a car. Pipa looked very similar to the deceased cat, so we suspect she was her mother. Pipa meowed unceasingly, it was heartbreaking. We couldn't help her mother, so we took Pipa in. Pipa is a special kitty. She is sensitive and a bit shy. But she lets you touch and pet her, she just needs time to trust and feel safe. When someone is a stranger, she tries to run away and hide. But with time and if she trusts the person, she is just lovely and lovable and lets you cuddle and hug her. She is totally peace-loving and rather submissive. She is very social and loves being with other cats. Pipa needs a quiet home and ideally will be adopted with one or two of her friends, with whom she currently lives in a box. It would give her security and stability if she didn't come alone to a new family. She is currently with Cisco, Perla, Noisy, and Samba (we present them separately) and is equally friendly with all of them. She loves their company. We are looking for a family for Pipa where she can feel safe. Where you cuddle and pet her and she can be a firm family member. Big, loving children are welcome. Dogs are OK if they are quiet and cat-friendly. Pipa will not be adopted as a pure indoor cat. She should get outdoor access in a safe and quiet environment. It should be a household where a cat flap is available or still installed. Also, she will not be adopted as a single cat. As mentioned earlier, Pipa loves the company of her kind and therefore will only be adopted to a cat (s) already living in the family of similar age and character, or it would be nice in a double pack with a friend from her current cat group. Pipa will be FIV and leukemia tested, rabies, cold, plague, leukemia and leukemia vaccinated, dewormed, chipped and spayed.

Sie suchte Schutz unter einem Müllcontainer. Sie war noch so klein – vielleicht 3 Monate alt. Unweit des Containers lag eine Katze. Sie war tot – von einem Auto überfahren. Sie sah Pipa sehr ähnlich und daher vermuten wir, dass es ihre Mutter war. Pipa miaute ununterbrochen, es war herzzerreißend. Wir konnten ihrer Mutter nicht mehr helfen und so nahmen wir Pipa in unsere Obhut.Sie ist ein ganz besonderes Kätzchen. Sie ist sensibel und etwas schüchtern. Aber sie lässt sich anfassen und streicheln, braucht eben etwas Zeit, um Vertrauen zu fassen und sich sicher zu fühlen.Wenn ihr jemand fremd ist, versucht sie wegzulaufen und sich zu verstecken. Aber mit der Zeit und wenn sie der Person vertraut, ist sie einfach nur bezaubernd und liebenswert und lässt sich schmusen und knuddeln. Sie ist total friedliebend und eher devot. Ist super sozial und liebt es, mit anderen Katzen zusammen zu sein.Pipa braucht ein ruhiges Zuhause und im Idealfall wird sie zusammen mit einer oder zwei ihrer Freundinnen, mit denen sie derzeit zusammen in einer Box lebt, adoptiert. Es würde ihr Halt und Sicherheit geben, wenn sie nicht alleine in eine neue Familie käme. Sie ist derzeit zusammen mit Cisco, Perla, Noisy und Samba (wir stellen sie separat vor) und mit allen gleichermaßen befreundet. Sie liebt deren Gesellschaft.Wir suchen für Pipa eine Familie, wo sie sich sicher fühlen kann. Wo man mit ihr kuschelt und schmust und sie festes Familienmitglied sein darf.Größere, liebe Kinder sind herzlich willkommen. Hunde sind O.K., wenn sie ruhig und katzenfreundlich sind.Pipa wird nicht als reine Wohnungskatze vermittelt. Sie soll Freigang in katzensicherer und ruhiger Umgebung bekommen. Es soll ein Haushalt sein, wo eine Katzenklappe vorhanden ist oder noch installiert wird. Ebenso wird sie nicht als Einzelkatze vermittelt. Wie bereits erwähnt, liebt Pipa die Gesellschaft ihrer Artgenossen und daher wird sie nur zu einer bereits in der Familie lebenden Katze(n) in ähnlichem Alter und Charakter vermittelt, oder schön wäre es im Doppelpack mit einer Freundin aus ihrer jetzigen Katzengruppe.Pipa wird FIV und Leukose getestet, Tollwut, Schnupfen, Seuche und Leukose geimpft, entwurmt, gechipt und kastriert abgegeben.

About Pipa

What life with Pipa looks like

Pipa is a small young adult norwegian forest cat cat waiting at Tierhilfe Anubis 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. Tierhilfe Anubis 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 — Tierhilfe Anubis 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 Tierhilfe Anubis 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.
