Pippin

Mixed Breed Cat · Female · Senior · 14 years

Could you be Pippin's purrfect home?No adoption donationNot everyone wants a boisterous kitten whizzing about and running up the curtains, some of us prefer a more mature cat for companionship and love. A friend to share life with. And Pippin is just that, a sweet natured, gentle puss who wants little more than comfort, kindness and you. She came to us as an abandoned stray, wandering the streets alone and sad. Little by little her fosterer has helped Pippin rebuild her confidence and her strength and she's now ready for a loving retirement home full of love. Pippin is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and has been fully health checked - her adopters will be given a full vet history since being in our care. She's had a dental op so her few remaining teeth are gleaming! She's good to go. Pippin has a sweet, friendly nature and will nestle down beside you or on your lap for a snooze. And purr. Pippin is BIG on purring. She's good with other cats and is currently fostered with dogs. Pippin can live as an indoor cat, but might still enjoy a potter around a safe garden now and again if possible. We'd love to see Pippin become the centre of her adopter's world.THERE IS NO ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED FOR PIPPIN.

About Pippin

What life with Pippin looks like

Pippin is a large senior mixed breed cat cat waiting at Swansea Cats and Kittens in United Kingdom.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

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. Swansea Cats and Kittens 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 — Swansea Cats and Kittens 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. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
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 Swansea Cats and Kittens 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 (EN). 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.
