Fairfield by the numbers
Fairfield has about 120,785 residents, and the Census counts about 2,263 people aged 16 and over in the armed forces. If national ownership rates held, about 12,440 Fairfield households would have a cat; that is an estimate, not a count.
Military families can also read the Travis AFB page for the drive from the base.
The route from Fairfield
Drivers take Interstate 80 east for about 11.3 miles and finish on Midway Road, with a short stretch on North Texas Street first. The OSRM estimate is about 32 minutes in free-flowing traffic, and commute hours on Interstate 80 can add to that.
A comfortable room for the whole stay
The cattery is heated in winter and air-conditioned in summer. Each cat has its own four-level tower, litter box and blanket, plus a cat tree and cat houses in the room. That matters on a July trip or a January one alike.
A cat stay is $35 a night, and a second cat sharing the same condo is $30 on the 2026 rates; medications are given at no extra charge.

What pet owners say
Clean and well organized, with a friendly, helpful staff. Our two pitties love their periodic "vacation" stays at Happy Paws! We live an hour away, but it's well worth the drive. Highly recommended.
Just picked up my pup Loki from a 4 day stay, the staff was extremely kind and helpful. We cannot be more happy with the level of care and pictures uploaded while we were away. Loki even got a bath before pick up! Which I highly recommend. We plan to use them whenever we have the need.
