Cat breed guides
Every cat at Happy Paws gets an individual four-level tower with its own litter box and blanket, for $35 a night on the 2026 rate sheet, whatever the breed. The breed guides explain coat, temperament and what to tell staff about your cat.

A Maine Coon and a Siamese board the same way but may want different things: more room for fur, more attention, a quiet corner. These guides help you describe your cat to the cattery.
What every cat gets
The cattery has individual four-level towers, which the kennel calls condos. Each cat has its own litter box and cozy blanket, and there is a cat tree and cat houses for play and hiding. The kennel and cattery are temperature controlled, and medications are given at no extra charge. Cats from one home can share a condo; the second cat is $30 a night. See cat boarding for the full picture.
Pick a breed
Guides are written for long-haired breeds like the Maine Coon, Ragdoll and Persian, short-haired breeds like the Siamese, Bengal and British Shorthair, and for the mixed cats most households have, the Domestic Shorthair and Domestic Longhair.
Vaccines and booking
Cats need current rabies and FVRCP records on file and must be at least 16 weeks old before the first day. Send a booking request or call 707-678-6600; the kennel confirms every reservation. For a first visit, a cat day care day costs $25.
Telling staff about your cat
- Coat: tell staff if your cat has a long coat that mats easily
- Personality: shy, social, a climber or a lap cat
- Food: bring your cat's usual food at no charge, or use the house pate and chicken-and-rice kibble
- Medication: written dose and times
