Last 12 months, I had the enjoyable of writing a Tail End column about Pip the Beach Cat, an orange-and-white tabby who made a reputation for himself giving high-fives (high-paws?) to beachgoers on the Maryland coast. Pip’s human mother, Emily, has turned his knack for making mates right into a power for good. Pip has visited nursing houses, hospitals, faculties, Easterseals and Worcester County Developmental Center.
Noticing that there appear to be so many specialty canine boutiques and smaller cat sections in pet shops, Emily determined to alter that. Pip is now the inspiration behind Pip the Beach Cat’s Kitten Emporium, a brick-and-mortar treasure trove of all issues cat that opened final August. Humans can store for treats, toys, freshly grown catnip and cat grass for his or her feline mates, in addition to cat-themed hats, totes and shirts for themselves. And, in fact, Pip’s personal books can be found at this Ocean Beach store. Best of all, Pip continues the custom of serving to others with a kitten fostering program. Once kittens have their photographs, they spend the day taking part in on the retailer after which go house with Pip and Emily at night time. “It gets the kittens great exposure to get them adopted,” Emily says.
