Pipa

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 4 years

Sweet Pipa is looking for an eternal home full of love! 4 years old, neutered, vaccinated, and dewormed. Pipa is a quiet, affectionate, independent, and sociable cat. According to her adoptive sister, she loves human society. She really enjoys being stroked, spoiled, spoken to, and praised. When you scratch her behind her ears, she rubs her head against your hand, showing her joy. When her husband comes home, Pipa greets him, runs around his legs, rubs against them, and purrs softly. She likes to sleep in the bed next to her husband and snuggles up to him/her. She also likes to sit on your lap and show her confidence. When a stranger comes into the house, Pipa is curious about them. She plays with stuffed mice, sometimes goes for a walk alone, and often sits by the window to watch birds. Background: Pipa was found by volunteers near the monastery, where she was dropped off. She adapted to her foster family in just 2 days. Three other cats live in the reception area, with which she gets along easily (neutral behavior). Feeding and care: She is fed with dry food (ProPlan Delicate) and wet food (Felix, PerfectFit). She is house-trained and reliably uses her litter box with clumping wood litter. Wishes for a new home: Pipa can fit into any type of family, even as an independent pet in a household without other animals. She is looking for loving people who will give her the necessary attention and affection. Housing is only possible in residential areas with enough space and opportunities for stimulation (climbing, playing, sitting by the window). This cat's FIV status applies — see shelter for details.

Süße Pipa sucht ein ewiges Zuhause voller Liebe!4 Jahre alt kastriert, geimpft, entwurmt. FIV-Test und FeLV-Test negativ. Pipa ist eine ruhige, liebevolle, selbständige und gesellige Katze. Laut ihrer Adoptivschwester liebt sie die menschliche Gesellschaft. Sie mag es wirklich, wenn sie gestreichelt, verwöhnt, angesprochen und gelobt wird. Wenn du sie hinter ihren Ohren kratzt, reibt sie ihren Kopf an ihrer Hand und zeigt damit ihre Freude. Als ihr Mann nach Hause kommt, geht Pipa ihm entgegen, rennt um seine Beine herum, reibt sich an ihnen und schnurrt sanft. Sie schläft gerne im Bett neben ihrem Mann und kuschelt sich an ihn / sie. Sie sitzt auch gerne auf Ihrem Schoß und zeigt damit ihr Selbstvertrauen. Wenn ein Fremder ins Haus kommt, ist Pipa neugierig auf ihn / sie. Sie spielt mit Plüschmäusen, geht manchmal alleine spazieren und sitzt oft am Fenster, um Vögel zu beobachten. Hintergrund: Pipa wurde von Freiwilligen in der Nähe des Klosters gefunden, wo sie abgesetzt wurde. Sie kam in eine Pflegefamilie, wo sie sich in nur 2 Tagen aneignete. Drei weitere Katzen leben in der Rezeption, mit denen sie leicht auskommt (neutrales Verhalten). Fütterung und Pflege:Es wird mit trockenem Futter (ProPlan Delicate) und nassem Futter (Felix, PerfectFit) gefüttert. Ist stubenrein und benutzt zuverlässig ihr Katzenklo mit klumpfreiem Holzstreu. Wünsche für ein neues Zuhause: Pipa kann in jede Art von Familie passen, sogar als eigenständiges Tier in einem Haushalt ohne andere Tiere. Sie sucht nach liebevollen Menschen, die ihr die notwendige Aufmerksamkeit und Zuneigung schenken. Unterbringung ist nur in Wohngebieten möglich, wenn genügend Platz und Beschäftigungsmöglichkeiten vorhanden sind (Klettern, Spielen, Sitzen am Fenster).

About Pipa

What life with Pipa looks like

Pipa is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Russische Tiere in Not e.V. in Gladbeck.

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. Tierschutzverein Russische Tiere in Not 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 — Tierschutzverein Russische Tiere in Not 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 Tierschutzverein Russische Tiere in Not 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.
