Yes. The Happy Paws cattery is in the front building of the T-shaped building that opened October 5, 2022, while the dog runs are in the kennel building. The two parts are joined like the top and stem of a T. [Book a stay](https://happypawskennels.propetware.com/customerLogin)[Call 707-678-6600](tel:+17076786600) Cats and dogs share the property, so the useful question is how the layout keeps their spaces apart. ## The front building The front building holds the lobby, the cattery, a storage room, the meal-preparation room, a private office and a public restroom built to ADA standards. Cats stay in individual four-level towers, which the rate sheet calls condos. Each cat has its own litter box and blanket, and there is a cat tree and there are cat houses for climbing and hiding. ## The kennel building The kennel building has 50 indoor and 50 outdoor runs: 10 First Class and 40 Business Class, with 25 doggie doors along each side. Each dog chooses between the heated or air-conditioned indoor run and the outdoor run. The original 1971 building, with the Economy runs, is a separate structure on the same property. ## What this means for your cat Cat boarding takes place in the cattery rooms, not in the dog runs. Staff walk pets in from the car, which is why the kennel asks you to leave your pet in the vehicle at check-in. Climate control covers the kennel and the cattery. If your cat is sensitive to sound or smell, tour first and judge for yourself. ## See it Tours run daily from 9 to 11 AM and 2 to 4 PM, no appointment needed, with a staff member walking with you.
