Pip is a female senior Domestic Short Hair cat with a playful personality and a striking white and tabby (brown/chocolate) coat. She has a short coat that’s easy to maintain and a medium build. House trained and currently living in the care of City of Elderly Love, Pip is already spayed and her vaccinations are up to date. While she prefers to be the only cat in the home, she can do well with children who give her space when she needs it.

About Pip

Click apply and let the tail-wagging begin! Say hello to Pip, an adorable senior cat with a heart full of love and a dash of mischief. At around 12 years old, Pip has shown her resilient and fun personality since joining her foster home after losing both her original home and her longtime feline companion. Her playful spirit shines through—she adores springs, shiny foil balls, and feather wands, and takes her playtime seriously! You can count on Pip for constant companionship; she loves to cuddle, nestling under the covers or waiting just outside your door, always ready to make you smile. Pip’s personality is as big as her heart. She’s equal parts affectionate and playful, keen to explore her surroundings and occasionally indulge in silly antics, like nudging your water bottle off the table or investigating every nook and cranny. She’s not one for the timid—furniture is fair game, and her curiosity knows no bounds. While Pip lived with another cat, she seems happiest as the only pet. She’d flourish in a home with children who understand her need for both play and occasional personal space. Pip has received all necessary veterinary care, including spaying, vaccinations, and a microchip, and she’s FIV/FeLV negative, so she’s ready to join her forever family. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
