The Cat Fanciers' Association calls the breed intelligent, affectionate and sociable, with a gently assertive voice. [Book a stay](https://happypawskennels.propetware.com/customerLogin)[Call 707-678-6600](tel:+17076786600) Havana Browns come in one color, a rich solid brown, and the CFA says individuals range from shy and one-person to very outgoing. ## Shy or outgoing, ask which The CFA says some Havana Browns are shy and bond closely with one person while others are very outgoing. Tell the staff which yours is, and whether it likes to be picked up. Also bring a familiar toy. A blanket is already in the tower. ## Coat The short silky coat does not shed heavily. The CFA suggests daily boar-bristle brushing and a rubber brush two or three times a month, then buffing with a chamois or silk scarf, and says bathing is not needed unless the cat is shown. None of that is required before a stay. ## Moderate energy The CFA describes Havana Browns as moderately active and playful, not especially demanding. Four tower levels give a moderately active cat a place to climb and nap, and the cat tree adds options. ## Company The CFA says the breed gets along with other family pets and enjoys sleeping piled up with other cats or dogs. Breeders often suggest getting two cats. If you have two Havana Browns, they can share a condo for $30 a night for the second cat on the 2026 rates, on top of $35 for the first. ## Costs and care One cat is $35 a night, so a five-night trip is 5 x $35 = $175 and two weeks is 14 x $35 = $490. The CFA notes that a 2019 outcrossing program has made genetic testing of breeding cats essential. Medications are given at no extra charge, and house food is free. ## Booking and pick-up Reserve online through Book / My Account or call 707-678-6600; the kennel confirms every reservation. Cats need rabies and FVRCP records current through the last day. Check-out is by 11:30 AM, and an afternoon pick-up between 2:00 and 5:00 PM is half of the nightly fee. Tours run every day, 9 to 11 AM and 2 to 4 PM, with no appointment, and a staff member walks with you. ## A short checklist for a Havana Brown Bring the carrier, a copy of the vaccine records if they are not uploaded, and your cat's food in the original bag if you prefer it to the house pate and chicken-and-rice kibble. Write feeding amounts in cups, note any medication, and tell staff whether your cat is the shy or outgoing kind. ### Sources (checked October 19, 2026) - [Cat Fanciers' Association - Havana Brown breed profile](https://cfa.org/breed/havana-brown/) - [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.
