Championship cats, kittens, alters and adult household pets will only be scored once without a registration number.

Health: This is a non-vetted show. Any cat showing signs of illness, parasites or fungus will be escorted from the show hall, along with any cats owned, housed or agented by the same exhibitor. All entries should be vaccinated against feline viral rhinotracheitis, calici and distemper (panleukopenia) at least two weeks prior to the show, and should test negative for feline leukemia and FIV ("feline AIDS"). Any cat or kitten from a house or cattery where there has been fungus or any infections or contagious illnesses within 21 days before the opening date of the show is ineligible for entry and/or exhibition. Any cat obviously pregnant or lactating will be disqualified. TICA show rules require all claws, front and back, be clipped prior to benching. Declawed cats are eligible for entry

Benching: One adult cat or two kittens are allowed per single cage. No kitten under 3 months of age will be allowed in the show hall (be prepared to show proof of age). All cats and kittens present in the show hall must have an assigned cage. No kittens or cats may be confined to carriers, either displayed or under cages during show hours. Any person disregarding this rule will be asked to leave the show hall.

Supplies: Cat litter will be available, but please bring your own litter pan! Each entry will be assigned a single cage, approx. 22" X 22" X 22". For the protection and safety of your cat and those around you, please bring suitable covering for sides, top and bottom of the cage.
