A domestic longhair is a house cat with a long coat and no pedigree. The Cat Fanciers' Association notes that most domestic cats are of no particular breed.
A coat length, not a breed
The CFA has a Household Pet class for cats without papers and says most cats in the world are of no particular breed. A longhair house cat can be sweet, shy or bossy; the coat does not predict that. What the coat does predict is tangles. Mats form where the fur rubs, behind the ears, under the legs and on the belly.
Size, age and fur
There is no breed standard for size, so what matters is the cat's actual weight and age. A young longhair may be a fluffy kitten of 16 weeks, and an older cat may be stiff and need extra care when combing. Mention both. Seniors can also read the senior cat page for the kennel's approach.
Before drop-off
Comb the cat the day before. Tell the staff if there are existing mats or a skin problem. A cat that arrives matted is uncomfortable in a way that has nothing to do with the stay. Medications are given at no extra charge.
Tower and routine
Each cat gets an individual four-level tower, a litter box and a blanket, and there is a cat tree and cat houses in the cattery. One cat is $35 a night on the 2026 rates; a second cat from the same home sharing the tower is $30. Longhair fur sheds onto the blanket, so a comb helps keep things tidy.
What a stay costs
Six nights for one cat is 6 x $35 = $210 on the 2026 rates. A second cat sharing the tower is 6 x $30 = $180. Cat day care is $25. Medications are given at no extra charge.
Food, records, timing
House food is pate plus chicken-and-rice kibble at no charge, or bring your own in the original bag. Rabies and FVRCP must be current through the last day. Drop-off and pick-up are 7:30 to 11:30 AM and 2:00 to 5:00 PM every day, with check-out by 11:30 AM.
