# Can I see where my cat will stay?

Yes. Happy Paws gives tours every day from 9 to 11 AM and from 2 to 4 PM, with no appointment, and a staff member walks with you. The cattery is in the front building, so you can see the cat towers on the same visit.

Many cats are anxious in new places, and seeing the tower first helps the owner more than the cat. Here is what you will find.

## What you will see

The cattery is in the front building of the 2022 T-shaped building, close to the lobby and apart from the dog runs in the kennel building.

- Individual four-level towers, called condos on the rate sheet.
- A litter box and a blanket for each cat.
- A cat tree and cat houses for playing and hiding.
- The lobby, where drop-off and pick-up happen.

## Planning the visit

Come inside the tour hours. Outside them the office is closed from 11:30 AM to 2:00 PM, and on Thanksgiving Eve, Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve it closes at 3:00 PM, with the kennel closed all day on seven holidays. Ask the staff member to take you to the cattery first if your cat is the only reason you came.

## Questions worth asking on the tour

Ask how your cat's food will be served. House food is pate and chicken-and-rice kibble, both free, and your own food is welcome at no charge in the original bag with amounts in cups. Ask about medications, which are given at no extra charge. Confirm that rabies and FVRCP records are current through the stay.

## After the tour

Book by sending a request through the online account or calling 707-678-6600, and the kennel confirms it. A cat condo is $35 per night on the 2026 rates, and a second cat from the same home sharing the condo is $30. The [first-time cat boarding guide](https://happypawskennels.com/guides/cats/boarding-a-cat-for-the-first-time/) helps you prepare.
