The Cat Fanciers' Association calls the breed affectionate and laid back, a comfortable homebody that does not do well alone for long. [Book a stay](https://happypawskennels.propetware.com/customerLogin)[Call 707-678-6600](tel:+17076786600) The Fold's folded ears and round eyes make it look gentle. The CFA says the temperament matches: quiet but not placid, and attached to its people. ## A homebody in its own tower The CFA describes Scottish Folds as comfortable, charming homebodies who enjoy but do not crave human interaction. A tower with four levels, a blanket and a litter box gives them a spot of their own. One Fold is $35 a night on the 2026 rates. ## Size and build The CFA says round is the word used most for the Scottish Fold: a medium-sized cat with a round head, round bright eyes and a well-padded body on strong legs. The CFA says the folded ears have no effect on hearing, and that stiffness in the tail can be an early sign of other health problems. If your Fold shows stiffness, tell the staff. ## Reserved with strangers The CFA says Folds are sometimes reserved with strangers and with other cats, who may read the folded ears as a sign of hostility. In the cattery each cat has an individual tower, so a Fold does not need to meet anyone. Staff will come to your cat quietly. Ask for a calm drop-off. ## Coat length and easy upkeep The CFA says Folds need no special coat care, and a weekly combing is enough for the short coat. Longhair Folds need more frequent attention to prevent tangles. Folds shed year-round, with heavier periods in spring and fall. ## What a stay costs Four nights for one Scottish Fold is 4 x $35 = $140 on the 2026 rates. A second cat from the same home is $30 a night. A Fold that does not like being alone for long may like cat day care at $25 before its first overnight. ## Records, joints and medicine The CFA notes responsible breeders pair folded and straight-eared cats to minimize bone and joint issues. If your Fold takes medication for joints or anything else, list it, and it is given at no extra charge. Rabies and FVRCP must be current through the last day. ### Sources (checked October 19, 2026) - [Cat Fanciers' Association - Scottish Fold breed profile](https://cfa.org/scottish-fold/) - [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 recognizes straight-eared Folds as part of the breed. Boarding is the same. ### Is a Fold fine alone in a tower? They prefer company at home, so keep the stay as short as you can and ask about cat day care at $25 for a first visit. ### Which vaccines does my scottish fold 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.
