Unlike a Norwegian Forest Cat, the Siberian the CFA describes has a triple coat that thickens in cold months and thins in summer. [Book a stay](https://happypawskennels.propetware.com/customerLogin)[Call 707-678-6600](tel:+17076786600) Both breeds are big forest cats, but the Siberian has a different coat and a famously steady temperament. ## Triple coat, summer thin The CFA calls the Siberian coat a triple coat, the breed's most distinctive feature, noticeably thicker in colder months and thinner in summer. Our Norwegian Forest Cat page covers a double coat. Solano County summers are hot, and the cattery is air-conditioned, which suits a cat in a full coat. ## Mat spots The CFA says density varies; some cats need weekly combing, and others go weeks. It advises checking the underside, tail and britches several times a week, because mats form there, and says they can be pulled apart by hand or picked apart with a steel-toothed comb. Check those places before check-in. A matted cat is harder to keep comfortable. ## Dog-like and placid The CFA headline is dog-like, intelligent and devoted. Owners describe them as 90 percent placid and 10 percent mischief, and the CFA says they get along with dogs, other animals and children, and prefer loud purring to other noises. That is a cat that adjusts, and the four-level tower and cat tree give it height. ## Slow to grow The CFA calls the Siberian one of the slowest-maturing breeds, with males about 12 to 18 pounds and females 8 to 12. Most reach full size around three years. A big male will use a lower level. ## What 9 nights cost Nine nights for one Siberian is 9 x $35 = $315 on the 2026 rates. A second cat from the home sharing is 9 x $30 = $270. Check-out is by 11:30 AM; afternoon pick-up is half of the nightly fee. ## Records, food and medicine The CFA names heart and kidney conditions as concerns for the breed, so bring any medication with written doses; we give medications at no extra charge. House food is pate plus chicken-and-rice kibble. Rabies and FVRCP must be current. ### Sources (checked October 19, 2026) - [Cat Fanciers' Association - Siberian breed profile](https://cfa.org/breed/siberian/) - [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.

No. The CFA lists them as separate breeds with different coats and histories. ### Which vaccines does my siberian 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.
