The Cat Fanciers' Association describes a lean, graceful cat with a roan coat and no undercoat that does best in warm surroundings. [Book a stay](https://happypawskennels.propetware.com/customerLogin)[Call 707-678-6600](tel:+17076786600) The Lykoi looks like a small werewolf, and the sparse coat is the main thing to plan around for a stay. Temperature and sun matter more than brushing. ## Warmth comes first The CFA says Lykoi lack an undercoat and do best in warm environments. For a cat like that, the question for a boarding stay is climate. The cattery is heated in winter and air-conditioned in summer. Tell us if yours tends to seek out blankets; the tower comes with one. ## The coat, face and skin The CFA describes a roaned coat that mixes white and colored guard hairs, with the face, legs and feet sparsely covered. Despite the rough look it feels soft and silky, and shedding is minimal except during molts. Skin can get oily, and the ears and toes need extra attention. The CFA warns against human shampoo. If your Lykoi is in a molt, mention it at check-in. ## Sun protection The CFA suggests protecting the skin from the sun, possibly with a pet-safe sunscreen. The cattery is indoors, so a stay is a low-sun week. Only bring a product if your cat uses it regularly, and write down how. ## Hunter first, cuddler second The CFA says Lykoi would generally rather hunt than cuddle but still seek human attention, and that they may be reserved in new situations before they warm up to people and pets. Expect a watchful first day. A tower with four levels gives a curious cat a view, and the cat tree and cat houses add more spots to observe from. ## What 4 nights cost Four nights for one Lykoi is 4 x $35 = $140 on the 2026 rates. A second cat sharing the tower is $30 a night, so 4 nights is 4 x $30 = $120. Check-out is by 11:30 AM, and an afternoon pick-up is half of the nightly fee. ## Records and diet Rabies and FVRCP must be current through the last day, and the cat must be 16 weeks or older. House food is free, and your own food is welcome in its original bag. Medications are given at no extra charge. ### Sources (checked October 19, 2026) - [Cat Fanciers' Association - Lykoi breed profile](https://cfa.org/breed/lykoi/) - [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.
