Tippi

European Shorthair · Female · Senior · 16 years

Tippi kam bei uns im Sommer 2010 zur Welt und lebt seitdem bei uns aufgrund ihrer chronischen Nasennebelhöhlen-Anomalie. Aufgrund dieser Problematik wurde sie bereits mehrfach operiert und es kann in Zukunft auch zu einer weiteren Operation kommen, um ihre Atmung zu erleichtern. Die Anomalie führt dazu, dass die schöne Katzendame "röchelt" und sich auch manchmal geradezu wie ein Schwein anhört. Die Dame ist die "Chefin" unserer Katzenbande und ist unglaublich futtermotiviert. Sie schmust sehr gerne und lässt sich auch gerne stundenlang bürsten.

About Tippi

What life with Tippi looks like

Tippi is a senior european shorthair cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Ludwigshafen in Germany.

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 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 Tippi, answered.

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