Patch 3.3.5 | Posted: February 26, 2010
This pet was available for a limited time to players in Taiwan when they prepay for a certain amount of World of Warcraft game time prior to March 4, 2010.
As of Patch 5.4.1, this pet is now a reward from the Recruit-A-Friend system in regions outside of Asia.
As of June 11, 2019, the Recruit-A-Friend program was put on hiatus, making this pet unavailable. It's unknown if and when this pet will be made available again.
Between September 26, 2023 and October 24, 2023, Amazon Prime Gaming subscribers could claim this pet, making it temporarily available again.

A rarely seen family of tigers, many believe (perhaps incorrectly) that some residual magic or other event is responsible for the unique color.
I can confirm this pet is also available in EU via Amazone prime gaming. (Or at least in NL) from September 26th till October 24th 2023: https://worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com/en-us/news/23985154/prime-gaming-loot-get-the-zipao-tiger-pet?fbclid=PAAabLFSglH09AAvqpFZo4J_p5Q4ScVv9ynLsW4cfgvewHrCnE870h-USzzWg_aem_AW5nQJyaYWKOfrYDXn9eLuIMkwoloCjZeruZGbDgwtH6PTKXtBjhaQVHwqvjuDgkpHo
Available in the US via Amazon Prime Gaming from 9/26/2023 - 10/24/2023. https://gaming.amazon.com/zipao-tiger-pet/dp/amzn1.pg.item.f647d068-4d89-4d0f-b95d-d2e6810290be?ingress=amzn&ref_=SM_WorldofWarcraft_S02_D07_CRWN
I found out last Sunday (April 12, 2015) that, Danish people can perform a RaF in-game and that way get this pet.
Note: Only down side is that you have to wait 7 days for the Reward.
Just got this pet - it seems to have a levelling bug :/ Levelled it to 25, logged out to an alt, logged back to my main, and it was back to level 23.
Oh well, will try a levelling stone after tomorrow's dailies :(
*Update* recently acquired this pet, he is larger and more vocal/higher pitch than his sapphire cub relative
Anyone else seriously amused by the accuracy of these retroactive comments?
"I'd prepay for a lot of game time for a chance at this guy. I think Blizz is missing a serious cash-generating opportunity by not offering the promotion elsewhere!"
"ugh, it's so pretty! i hope one day they let JCs make stuff like this, i would kill for that little guy!" (sapphire cub)
For so long, I've felt like Ralphie in the Christmas Story: looking in awe through the store window at the Red Rider BB Gun. With RAF, I can finally have one of the coveted tigers! Please advise me which you think is better: the Jade or Zipao Tiger? I'm torn! The Zipao Tiger is Breed 6, but has the same abilities as the Feline Familiar. The Jade Tiger is Breed 3, but has Jade Claw (+5% hit chance than Onyx Bite). Both of those abilities are fantastic against most other pets. What do you think?
Uncommon quality when learned....slightly disappointed there tbh. As a RaF reward I had expected it to be rare quality, but oh well.
This was my first reward choice, the new mount will have to wait. He lvl'd to 19 twice, don't know if he is buggy or not as I have never had that happen before. What should have taken 6 battles, took 7 with this guy, he is finally 25 now.
Can't wait to get this as a RAF reward in 5.4.1!! :D
Or we'll all wallow in misery at the notion that it'll remain tentatively out of reach forever...
... That last one sounds better.
Gratz on a great pet you deserve, and here's wishing we'll get a neat gem pet at some point! :D
