The Cat Fanciers' Association describes a busy, agenda-driven, affectionate cat with a ticked short coat. [Book a stay](https://happypawskennels.propetware.com/customerLogin)[Call 707-678-6600](tel:+17076786600) The CFA says an Abyssinian will find its own entertainment if the toys run out. For a stay, height and variety matter more than space. ## Perches and levels The CFA says Abys are fond of high places and should be offered perches from which to survey their domains. A cattery tower with four levels is just that. Each cat has its own litter box and blanket, and the cattery also has a cat tree and cat houses. One Aby is $35 a night on the 2026 rates. ## Size and build The CFA describes a medium-sized shorthair with a beautifully arched neck and a lithe yet muscular feel, standing as if on tip-toe, with large cupped ears and almond-shaped eyes. The coat is ticked, with bands of color on each hair, in ruddy, cinnamon, blue and fawn. A lithe cat like this will use the top shelf of its tower. ## Always moving The CFA calls the breed sociable, super-inquisitive and one of the most intelligent, extremely active and playful, and constantly on the move unless asleep. A stay with no routine can feel long to a cat like that. Bring one toy from home. Cat day care at $25 is a way to try a visit before an overnight. ## Coat care is easy The CFA says Abyssinians need very little coat care and should be combed or brushed a few times a month to control shedding. A chamois rub gives the coat a sheen. A short comb before arrival is enough. ## What a stay costs Six nights for one Abyssinian is 6 x $35 = $210 on the 2026 rates. Two Abys from one home pay $35 plus $30 a night. Cat day care is $25, handy for a cat that wants to test the place first. ## Company and records The CFA says Abys do not like to be left alone for long. Two cats from one home can share a tower, and the second is $30 a night. Rabies and FVRCP records must be current through the last day. Medications are given at no extra charge. ### Sources (checked October 19, 2026) - [Cat Fanciers' Association - Abyssinian breed profile](https://cfa.org/abyssinian/) - [Happy Paws Kennels 2026 rate sheet (PDF)](https://happypawskennels.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/2026-Rates-EFFECTIVE-1-1-26.pdf) ### 2026 nightly rates - First Class kennel $72 - Business Class kennel $59 - Economy Class kennel $52 - Cat condo $35 All-inclusive: food, medications and walks. 2026 rates, effective for reservations made on or after Jan 1, 2026.

The four levels give it climbing room. A toy from home and the staff's attention help. ### Is an Abyssinian a noisy cat? The CFA says Abys are not particularly talkative. ### Which vaccines does my abyssinian cat need? Rabies and FVRCP, current through the last day of the stay. The cat must be 16 weeks or older before the first day.
