Cats that avoid each other at home may be happier in separate condos. [Book a stay](https://happypawskennels.propetware.com/customerLogin)[Call 707-678-6600](tel:+17076786600) Whether to board cats together is a question about their relationship, not their number. You know them best. ## When sharing works Bonded cats often sleep curled together and wash each other. If your cats nap together, eat side by side and use the same perches, sharing a condo is likely to feel natural. It also costs less: the first cat is $35 and the additional cat is $30 per night. ## When separate is better The AAFP's guidance on tension between cats points out that cats in the same household do not always get along, and that each cat needs its own resources: food, water, litter and resting places. If one of your cats hides from the other, swats, blocks the litter box or eats alone, book two condos. Each cat then has an individual four-level tower and its own litter box and blanket. Each is $35 a night. ## Working out the cost Two cats sharing for seven nights is 7 x $35 for the first cat plus 7 x $30 for the second, which is $245 plus $210. Two cats in separate condos for seven nights is 14 x $35 = $490. The [stay cost estimator](https://happypawskennels.com/tools/stay-cost-estimator/) does this for your dates, including the afternoon pick-up charge of half a night. ## How to prepare Bring one blanket per cat that smells like home, current rabies and FVRCP records for each cat, and the usual food in the original bag. Tell the staff which cat eats first, which is bossy and whether either takes medication. See [two or more cats](https://happypawskennels.com/cat-boarding/multi-cat-stays/) and [can my cats share a condo](https://happypawskennels.com/questions/can-my-cats-share-a-condo/). ## A short test at home Before you book, watch your two cats for a day. Do they sleep within touching distance? Do they use the same water bowl? Do they ever stand off at the box or the door? Yes answers to the first two and a no on the last suggest sharing will work. If you are unsure, a second condo costs only a little more per night than sharing, and it removes the risk. Bonded cats also tend to keep their own routines, so tell the staff which one eats first, which one is bolder and whether either needs medication. ### Sources (checked October 19, 2026) - [Happy Paws Kennels 2026 rate sheet (PDF)](https://happypawskennels.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/2026-Rates-EFFECTIVE-1-1-26.pdf) - [AAFP, Intercat tension guidelines](https://catvets.com/tension) - [AAFP/ISFM environmental needs guidelines for cats](https://catvets.com/environmental-needs) ### 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.
