The Davis numbers
Davis has about 25,358 households and 66,978 residents. If the national share of cat households held, about 8,140 Davis homes would have a cat; that is an estimate from Census and AVMA data, not a count of cats.
With 56.5 percent of households renting, a large share of Davis cats live in apartments. A stay at a country cattery gives them a tower of their own while you travel or move.
Getting here from Davis
The route runs about 1.5 miles on County Road E6, 3.6 on Interstate 80 and 7.2 on Highway 113 before the last stretch on Midway Road. Expect about 21 minutes without traffic.
Drop-off windows are 7:30 to 11:30 AM and 2:00 to 5:00 PM every day, so a morning trip before work or an afternoon trip on the way home both work.
Your cat's space
Every cat has a four-level tower to itself, with a litter box and a blanket that belong to that cat alone. The cattery keeps a cat tree and cat houses too. Cats who share a household can share a tower, which is how the second cat costs $30 instead of $35.
Papers and licenses
Bring or upload proof of rabies and FVRCP vaccines that stay current through the last day of the stay. Yolo County does not require a cat license, but it offers a voluntary one, and the rabies record you would use for it is the same record the kennel needs. See the cat vaccine guide for timing.
Davis families planning around campus dates
Ask early for move-in, graduation and holiday weeks. The UC Davis families page lists the dates to watch, and a booking request sent a few weeks ahead gives the kennel time to confirm.

What pet owners say
I love boarding my dog there because on vacation I know he'll be safe. Well treated heat and AC all is good. They send me photos of them and they're very very friendly staff. I highly recommend HAPPY PAWS to anyone.
I love this place and so do the dogs. They offers tours, have A/C and/or heat. They always look and smell super clean. They even filter the indoor air. They email pics of them playing. I have 2 large breeds that share a 1st class kennel. They even offer treats and baths. So nice to have a place I trust. Everyone is...
