Pippa (Mama von Pille & Palle)

European Shorthair · Female · Young · 1 year

Pippa and her two children Pille & Palle were taken in by a friendly animal welfare organization. Mother Pippa is a wonderful female cat who has lovingly cared for her two offspring and continues to do so. But that's not all! Her brood has more than doubled. Then came the little foundlings Nori and Charlie. Again, no problem, Mother Pippa takes care of them. It's simply incredible how big her mother's heart is. She continues to raise the little ones and does what she feels like doing. Pippa is affectionate and loving towards humans. We can't say how she gets along with adult cats as she's still with the little ones. If Pippa doesn't feel like cuddles, she just goes her own way. She does her thing. Since she's still a young female cat, we would be happy to find her a home where she can have outdoor access and where she can enjoy cuddles and playtime. Her children Pille and Palle are still very attached to her and still love to cuddle with Mama. When Palle meows, Mama Pippa comes running. The new home should not be located on a busy street. She needs some time to settle in and build trust before she can go outside. Meet the wonderful cat mother. That's what I wish for.

Über mich Pippa und ihre beiden Kinder Pille & Palle, haben wir von einem befreundeten Tierschutzverein übernommen. Mama Pippa ist eine wundervolle Katzendame die sich einfach rührend um ihre beiden Sprösslinge gekümmert hat und dies auch noch nach wie vor tut. Aber nicht nur das! Inzwischen hat sich ihre Kinderschar mehr als verdoppelt. Und dann kamen noch die kleinen Findlinge Nori und Charlie. Auch das: Alles kein Problem, Mama Pippa kümmert sich. Es ist einfach unfassbar toll welch riesen Mutterherz sie hat. So erzieht sie die Kleinen weiterhin fleißig und macht auch mal das worauf sie Lust hat. Pippa ist verschmust und lieb dem Menschen gegenüber. Wie es mit erwachsenen Artgenossen aussieht, können wir aktuell nicht sagen, da sie ja noch bei den Kleinen ist. Wenn Pippa keine Lust auf Streicheleinheiten hat, dann geht sie einfach. Sie macht ihr Ding. Da sie selbst noch eine junge Katzendame ist, würden wir uns über ein Zuhause freuen, wo sie Freigang erhalten kann und wo sie auch gerne neben Streicheleinheiten auch Spieleinheiten bekommt. Ihre Kinder Pille und Palle hängen tatsächlich noch sehr an ihr und kuscheln auch immer noch gern mit Mama. Wenn Palle miaut, kommt Mama Pippa sofort angerannt. Das neue Zuhause sollte nicht an stark befahrenen Straßen liegen. Anfangs braucht sie noch die Eingewöhnungszeit und den Vertrauensaufbau, bis sie ihren Freigang erhalten darf. Lernen Sie die tolle Katzenmama kennen. Das wünsche ich mir

About Pippa (Mama von Pille & Palle)

What life with Pippa (Mama von Pille & Palle) looks like

Pippa (Mama von Pille & Palle) is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierheim Alsfeld 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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Pippa (Mama von Pille & Palle), answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Pippa (Mama von Pille & Palle)?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Alsfeld handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Pippa (Mama von Pille & Palle) on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Pippa (Mama von Pille & Palle) if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Alsfeld 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Pippa (Mama von Pille & Palle) 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 Pippa (Mama von Pille & Palle) 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 Tierheim Alsfeld early rather than rehoming privately; they know Pippa (Mama von Pille & Palle) 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.
