The Cat Fanciers' Association describes an intensely loyal, pixie-like cat that dislikes being left alone for long periods. [Book a stay](https://happypawskennels.propetware.com/customerLogin)[Call 707-678-6600](tel:+17076786600) A Devon Rex follows its people everywhere. That attachment is the main thing to plan for when it stays away from home. ## A people cat in a tower The CFA says Devons are very intelligent, learn their names, follow their people everywhere and dislike being left alone for long periods. For that reason, short stays are best. The cattery gives each cat an individual four-level tower with its own litter box and blanket. One Devon is $35 a night on the 2026 rates, and cat day care is $25 for a first visit. ## Size and build The CFA describes large expressive eyes, large low-set ears, wide cheekbones and a mischievous expression. These are small to medium cats whose bodies have surprising heft, with typical adult weights of six to nine pounds. Eyebrows and whiskers are curly and fragile and may break. Light handling is all they need. ## A fragile, curly coat The CFA says Devons have an open wave coat of varying density that may be somewhat fragile, with occasional bare or sueded areas. They shed less than most cats. They are not hypoallergenic. A gentle comb before drop-off is all that is needed, and rough handling should be avoided. ## Appetite and friendliness The CFA says Devons have a robust appetite, and some have exotic tastes such as fruit and vegetables. Bring your own food in its original bag with the amount in cups so the staff keep it steady. The CFA calls them talkative but not noisy, with soft chirps and peeps, and says every guest is a potential new friend. ## What a stay costs Four nights for one Devon Rex is 4 x $35 = $140 on the 2026 rates. A second Devon from the same home is 4 x $30 = $120. Cat day care is $25. ## Records and medications Rabies and FVRCP must be current through the last day, and medications are given at no extra charge. Two Devons from one home can share a tower for $35 plus $30. ### Sources (checked October 19, 2026) - [Cat Fanciers' Association - Devon Rex breed profile](https://cfa.org/devon-rex/) - [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.
