Pippin

European Shorthair · Unknown · Adult · 4 years

lieb, verspielt, menschbezogen, gerne Einzelkater - weiter unten lesen Sie mehr Über Pippin Pippin (Spitzname Pip) – Verspielt und immer gern dabei – so heißt es von seinen alten Besitzern, die ihn leider abgeben müssen, da er sich nicht mehr mit seinem Bruder versteht. Nach mehrfachen Versuchen, haben sie sich nun schweren Herzens zu diesem Schritt entschlossen, da es zu immer heftigeren Streitereien zwischen den Katern kommt. Pip ist ein 4 Jahre alter, lebhafter Hauskater, der sich am liebsten ein Spielzeug nimmt und es vor seinen Menschen ablegt, um mit ihnen zu spielen. Er begleitet einen überall hin und liebt es zu beobachten, was man macht. Auch zeigt er sich sehr verschmust, wenn ihm danach ist. Aber auch in einer nicht kuscheligen Stimmung ist er immer gern in der Nähe seiner Menschen. Pip nimmt gerne an allem teil und ist sehr kommunikativ. Wenn er z. B. Aufmerksamkeit möchte, wird er das seinen Menschen maunzend mitteilen, weshalb seine alten Besitzer ihn liebevoll Schreihals nennen. Daher suchen wir für Pippin einen Katzenhaushalt mit etwas Erfahrung und vor allem Zeit, denn die möchte Pip gerne mit seinen Menschen verbringen. Da er nur Wohnunghaltung mit gesichertem Balkon kennt, braucht er nicht zwingend in den Freigang. Ein Problem wäre das aber wahrscheinlich nicht, aber falls es nur reine Wohnungshaltung wird, sollte diese mind. 70qm groß sein, über einen Balkon verfügen und seine neuen Menschen sollten viel zuhause sein! Er sitzt noch in seinem alten Zuhause und wird von da aus vermittelt.

About Pippin

What life with Pippin looks like

Pippin is an adult european shorthair cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Russelsheim in Rüsselsheim.

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 Pippin, answered.

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