The Cat Fanciers' Association shows Himalayans as the pointed-pattern division of the Persian. [Book a stay](https://happypawskennels.propetware.com/customerLogin)[Call 707-678-6600](tel:+17076786600) A Himalayan is a Persian with colorpoint markings. It has the same round face, the same placid nature and the same coat to look after. ## A pointed Persian The CFA lists Himalayans as one of the seven divisions of the Persian, the ones with the pointed pattern. They share the Persian type: solidly built, broad-chested, a long full coat and a short nose. One cat is $35 a night on the 2026 rates, with its own tower, litter box and blanket. ## Size and build The CFA says Persians, the Himalayan division included, are solidly built with a broad chest and a muscular body in the cobby type, with short heavy legs, a short plumed tail, small ears and large round eyes. A cobby cat does less climbing than a rangy one, so it will use a lower shelf of the tower. ## The coat deserves attention The CFA says owning a Persian calls for a serious commitment to coat care and that a steel comb with long, coarse and fine teeth is essential. A thorough comb the day before drop-off matters more than anything else you can do. Tell the staff about any mats. ## Eyes and breathing The CFA notes that the large eyes may stain and need a soft, damp cloth. The short nose is part of the look. Mention any eye, nose or breathing issue when you book, and list medications, which are given at no extra charge. ## What a stay costs Five nights for one Himalayan is 5 x $35 = $175 on the 2026 rates. A second cat from the same home is 5 x $30 = $150. Please list any eye care or medicine when you book. ## A mellow companion The CFA says Persians are playful yet placid, prefer to keep their feet on the ground and combine a calm personality with devotion to people. Plan a short stay with a familiar blanket. Rabies and FVRCP must be current through the last day. ## Drop-off and pick-up Drop-off and pick-up are every day from 7:30 to 11:30 AM and 2:00 to 5:00 PM, with check-out by 11:30 AM. A calm cat does best with a quiet hand-off, so book the morning window if your Himalayan gets anxious later in the day. ### Sources (checked October 19, 2026) - [Cat Fanciers' Association - Persian (including the Himalayan division) breed profile](https://cfa.org/persian/) - [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.

No. The CFA treats it as a Persian division, so the coat and temperament notes apply. ### Can two Himalayans share a tower? If they live together. The second cat is $30 a night on the 2026 rates. ### Which vaccines does my himalayan 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.
