Boarding an Ocicat cat

An Ocicat stays in its own four-level cattery tower at $35 a night on the 2026 rates, with its own litter box and blanket. The Cat Fanciers' Association describes a strong, active, social cat with a short, smooth, satiny spotted coat.

The Ocicat is a spotted shorthair with a dog-like temperament, so the stay is about company and room to move, not coat care.

Social cats and tower height

The CFA calls the Ocicat strong, active and social, a natural extrovert that welcomes strangers. That makes a cattery with people passing through an easy place for it. The four-level tower gives it height, and the cat tree and cat houses add more places to climb.

A coat that needs a chamois

The CFA says the Ocicat coat is short, smooth and satiny with a lustrous sheen, not a heavy shedder, and that owners may use a rubber brush or wipe the coat with a chamois. Bathing is generally unnecessary. There is nothing to prepare before check-in.

Muscle and weight

The CFA says Ocicats are medium to large and so muscular that they feel heavy for their size, even the females. A heavier cat takes a lower level comfortably. Mention your cat's usual jumping habits so we can place the blanket well.

Not built for being alone

The CFA says Ocicats do best with other animals or someone at home, as they do not enjoy long periods alone. If you have two cats, they can share a tower. Drop-off and pick-up windows run 7:30 to 11:30 AM and 2:00 to 5:00 PM every day.

What 6 nights cost

Six nights for one Ocicat is 6 x $35 = $210 on the 2026 rates. A second cat from the home sharing is 6 x $30 = $180. Check-out is by 11:30 AM; afternoon pick-up is half of the nightly fee.

Heart, kidney and eye history

The CFA notes that heart disease, amyloidosis and progressive retinal atrophy can occur in the breed's parent lines. If your Ocicat takes any medication, bring it in its original packaging and write out the dose. Medications are given at no extra charge.

Will an Ocicat be bored?

The CFA describes an energetic but not overly active cat with a base activity lower than an Abyssinian or Siamese. The tower and cat tree give it levels to use.

Can two Ocicats share a tower?

Yes, two cats from the same home can share, and the second is $30 a night on the 2026 rates.

Which vaccines does my ocicat 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.
