The Cat Fanciers' Association describes an affectionate, gentle, people-oriented cat with a soft, springy curly coat. [Book a stay](https://happypawskennels.propetware.com/customerLogin)[Call 707-678-6600](tel:+17076786600) A LaPerm is a medium-sized curly cat that likes both play and a lap. Here is how that translates into a few nights at the cattery. ## A curly coat that needs little from us The CFA says the LaPerm coat is soft yet springy, comes in longhair and shorthair, and that the curls hold the hair, so shedding is minimal and mats are uncommon. It recommends regular combing with a rolling-tooth comb. A quick comb the day before drop-off keeps the coat tidy. Pack nothing special for it; the cattery blanket and tower are provided. ## Sun and a changing coat The CFA notes that coat density can change, and that bare or sparse areas may sunburn, so it is wise to monitor the cat's exposure to the sun. Tell the staff at check-in if your LaPerm has thin patches right now. The cattery tower is indoors, which gives a thin-coated cat steady shade. ## Active mind, lap-sized heart The CFA calls the breed affectionate, gentle and highly intelligent, with a strong hunting instinct, active but happy to sit in a lap. It says LaPerms get along well with other pets and with children, and are generally not vocal. A quiet cat that watches everything is typical, so the upper levels of the tower give it a place to look out from. The cattery also has a cat tree and cat houses. ## Size and maturity The CFA lists the LaPerm as medium sized with moderate type, females generally smaller than males, maturing in two to three years. A tower level fits that frame comfortably, and a young adult still filling out is no problem. ## What 5 nights cost Five nights for one LaPerm is 5 x $35 = $175 on the 2026 rates. A second cat from the same home sharing the tower is $30 a night, so 5 nights for the second cat is 5 x $30 = $150. Check-out is by 11:30 AM; afternoon pick-up is half of the nightly fee. ## Food, medicine and records House food is pate plus chicken-and-rice kibble at no charge, and your own food is welcome in its original bag with amounts in cups. Medications are given at no extra charge. Bring current rabies and FVRCP records that run through the last day. ### Sources (checked October 19, 2026) - [Cat Fanciers' Association - LaPerm breed profile](https://cfa.org/breed/laperm/) - [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 CFA says shedding is minimal because the curls hold the hair. A comb before the stay is still a good idea. ### Is a LaPerm quiet in a cattery? The CFA describes the breed as generally not vocal, though every cat reacts differently to a new place. ### Which vaccines does my laperm 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.
