On the 2026 rates, Happy Paws Kennels charges $35 a night for one cat and $30 a night for each additional cat sharing a condo. Medications, special feedings and house food are included, so there are no add-on fees for those. [Book a stay](https://happypawskennels.propetware.com/customerLogin)[Call 707-678-6600](tel:+17076786600) Cat boarding is priced by the night, like a hotel. The list price is simple, so the real question is which extras, if any, apply to your stay. ## The nightly rates Each cat stays in an individual four-level tower, which the rate sheet calls a condo, with its own litter box and blanket. One cat is $35 a night. When two or more cats from the same household share a condo, each additional cat is $30 a night. Cat day care, for a day visit without an overnight, is $25 for one cat and $21 for each additional cat sharing a tower. These are the 2026 rates, effective for reservations made on or after January 1, 2026. | Service | Price (2026 rates) | | --- | --- | | 1 cat, per night | $35 | | Each additional cat sharing a condo, per night | $30 | | Cat day care, 1 cat | $25 | | Cat day care, each additional cat sharing a tower | $21 | ## What a few stays add up to Because the price is per night, you can work out a stay in your head. A weekend of three nights for one cat is 3 x $35 = $105. A full week is 7 x $35 = $245. Two weeks is 14 x $35 = $490. A month of 30 nights comes to 30 x $35 = $1050. The [stay cost estimator](https://happypawskennels.com/tools/stay-cost-estimator/) adds the second cat and the afternoon pick-up for your exact dates. ## What is included The all-inclusive rate sheet states there is no extra charge for special feedings, giving medications or walks. For cats, house food is free: canned pate and a chicken-and-rice kibble. You can also bring your own food at no charge, in the original bag with amounts written in cups, teaspoons or tablespoons. Remember the half-night rule: check-out is by 11:30 AM, and an afternoon pick-up between 2:00 and 5:00 PM is charged half of the nightly fee. Payment is at pick-up for stays up to four weeks. A stay longer than four weeks needs a card on file that is charged every two weeks in advance. ## Holiday weeks The nightly price does not change on holidays, but a deposit applies to stays that begin from 7 days before through 7 days after a major holiday: 50 percent, non-refundable, due 30 days before drop-off. Cancel at least 7 days ahead and the deposit becomes a credit on your account. Use the [holiday deposit checker](https://happypawskennels.com/tools/holiday-deposit-checker/) and call 707-678-6600 to confirm for your dates. ## How to keep the total sensible Cats do not need a large space, so the single condo covers them well. Booking two cats in one condo uses the shared rate if they are bonded. Pick-up before 11:30 AM avoids the half-night charge.

No. Medications are given at no extra charge on the 2026 rates. ### What does boarding two cats cost? The first cat is $35 a night and the second, sharing the same condo, is $30 a night. ### Do I pay up front? The balance is due at pick-up for most stays. Holiday stays need the 50 percent deposit, and stays longer than four weeks use a card charged every two weeks.
