SHIPPAN — Stamford bottle baby, 2 months old, ready mid-September
If our kitten Shippan were a neighborhood — he'd be exactly what Shippan Point in Stamford is: the standout on the peninsula.
The real Shippan is the place everyone notices — it's surrounded by water on three sides, has its own little temperate zone (warmer in winter, cooler in summer), its own beach clubs, yacht clubs, parades, bake-offs and Doors of Shippan holiday contest. Classic New England on the outside — Cape Cods, Colonial Revivals, big showy waterfront homes — but refreshingly different once you get to know it. People say you can't walk far without falling into the water.
That's our Shippan the kitten. He came to us as a tiny bottle baby from Stamford ACO with his three white brothers Westover, Cove and Glenbrook, and right away you could see — same bottle-baby heart, totally different coat. Claudia says all four are very cuddly and love being held, very playful, love to climb — and Shippan is all that, just in black-and-white.
In your photos he's doing exactly what Shippan Point does best: being right in the middle of it all. Paw over the playpen edge while his brothers eat in the background ("hi, down here!"), perched on the top shelf of the cat wall checking the view, or making himself at home on that famous white fluffy blanket — which, let's be honest, is exactly the kind of blanket a tuxedo kitten deserves.
White with black patches, pink toe beans, a little Charlie Chaplin mustache, and the biggest "pick me!" eyes of the litter.
Shippan would love a home where being the odd one out is the whole point — and where cuddles are always on the calendar.
Ready for adoption mid-September. One, two or more of the Stamford Four.
