the exception of Korats, registration with TICA is not necessary to
compete in the cat's first show, but is required for the 2nd and subsequent

All exhibitors must check in at the door prior to benching. This
is a non-vetted show. Cats showing signs of earmites, fleas, fungus,
or any illness will not be permitted in the show hall. Any cat or kitten

be immunized against feline rhinotracheitis, calici virus, and feline
enteritis, and should be tested negative for feline leukemia and feline
AIDS. Florida State law requires rabies inoculation. All claws (front

Sales cages will be available to exhibitors only at an additional

these laws.
Kittens: All kittens entered
for competition must be at least four (4) and not more than eight (8) calendar
months old on the day of the show. Kittens may be spayed or neutered.
Household Pets: Household
pets are very welcome at this show! Declawed Household Pets are OK at TICA shows.
This is due to the number of HHPs that are rescue cats and may have already
been declawed at the time of rescue. Household pets over 8 months of age MUST
be spayed or neutered. HHP's are judged in 10 divisions. If you are unsure of
your cat's color and division, please contact the entry clerk for help or send
a color photo of your entry. Photo will be returned at check in.
Supplies: Litter will be supplied
by the club. Please bring your own litter box, cat food and food dishes.
A single cage (approx. 22x22x22) is provided for each entered cat. A limited
number of double cages (22x22x44) will be available on a first come, first served
basis at an additional fee (see summary sheet). NOTE: you get a double cage
automatically when you enter two cats, of course they must share the cage. For
your cats comfort, the top, sides and bottoms of cages must be covered.
Clerks/Stewards: Ring Clerks
will be paid $35 per day plus a fully marked catalog and a lunch voucher. Stewards
will receive $10 per ring per day and a lunch voucher. Please check the summary
sheet if you are interested. Do not deduct clerking fees from your entry. (It
really messes up the bookkeeping.)
Awards: Rosettes will be awarded
in accordance with TICA Show Rules. This show is scored for TICA Regional and
International awards. Breed awards will be presented as available. Best of the
Best Awards will be presented (Best of the Best Scoring will exclude any congresses).
Scores will be based on finals points, with ties to be broken by number of cats

property of exhibitors, vendors or other such persons or property in attendance.
