The Manx is one of the oldest show breeds and is built compactly, so the stay is about a calm tower and a short coat-care routine.
Compact and surprisingly heavy
The CFA says Manx cats are compact and sturdy, feel surprisingly heavy when lifted, and that males typically weigh 10 to 12 pounds with females slightly smaller. That fits one level of a cattery tower with room to spare. The tower is four levels tall, and the cat tree and cat houses are also in the cattery.
No tail, same routine
Many Manx have no tail, an old trait the CFA traces to the Isle of Man. For a stay it changes little. If your cat has any health history tied to the breed, such as bladder or bowel trouble, tell us when you book so the notes are on the file.
A double coat in two lengths
The CFA says both longhair and shorthair Manx have thick, plush double coats that are not prone to matting. Longhairs need weekly combing with a wide-toothed comb, paying attention to under the legs and the sides of the face, and shorthairs two or three times a month. Most Manx only need regular bathing when shown, so a comb the day before check-in is enough.
One-or-two-person cats
The CFA says Manx often bond closely with one or two people and may take time to accept newcomers, enjoy games like fetch, and are often called doglike. It also describes them as talkative but not loud. A cat like that may spend the first night watching. Leave a note about what your cat does when nervous.
What 7 nights cost
Seven nights for one Manx is 7 x $35 = $245 on the 2026 rates. A second Manx sharing the tower is 7 x $30 = $210. The nightly fee runs to the 11:30 AM check-out, and afternoon pick-up is half of the nightly fee.
Food, medicine, paperwork
Pate and chicken-and-rice kibble are the house food at no charge, or bring your own in its original bag. Medications are given at no extra charge. Current rabies and FVRCP records, through the last day of the stay, are required.
