Show Hall/Motel:
Ramada Orlando Celebration Resort, 6375 W. Irlo Bronson Memorial Hwy (SR
192), Kissimmee, Florida, 34747. A food concession will be available, please
do not bring in outside food, coolers etc.
Room rate is $80
for king or double room, plus $10 per night nonrefundable pet fee. Call
877-467-5786 by June 25 to reserve a room. You must say you are with AquaTICAts
to get this rate. Note that once reserved and guaranteed, you MUST cancel
at least 72 hours prior to arrival, or one day's stay will be charged to
you.
Since this is the
hotel's first cat show, PLEASE be sure to confine spraying males (and females!)
& clean up after yourself and your cats so we will be welcome here again.
TICA Hotel Guidelines
will be followed.
Please make every
effort to leave your room in the condition it was found, or better.
Tipping housekeeping staff doesn't hurt - happy housekeeping staff don't
complain to management! Trash bags (& litter) will be available for
your convenience. If you have a problem you can't take care of yourself,
please let show management know and we will do whatever we can to help.
The condition of your room reflects on the entire cat fancy, and it only
takes one mishap to lose a hotel (even a whole chain) forever. We want to
return to this facility!
Banquet: Will
be held at the hotel, cocktail reception beginning at 6:00 PM followed by
dinner at 7:00 PM. Menu options are NY Strip Steak ($54), Chicken Florentine
($42), or Pan-Seared Salmon ($47), including iced tea, rolls, salad, vegetable
and coffee & dessert. Cash bar for 'adult' beverages. See Banquet Summary
form to submit your order and/or table seating preferences. (As with any
show, one 'benching request' per form, please - multiple requests will be
IGNORED COMPLETELY and you will be seated randomly.)
Attire is semi-formal,
if you are unsure, dress appropriately for an office interview and you should
be safe. Sequins, beads, sparkly objects and high heels are encouraged (for
women). Ties (bow or standard) for men, cummerbund optional. OK, seriously,
dress nice but remember, this is Florida, so HAVE FUN!
Transportation:
Just about all major carriers fly into Orlando International Airport (MCO).
If you will be flying in, alert the entry clerk and we will try to provide
transportation to/from the show hotel, if at all possible. Limos, taxis
and car rentals are available at the airport. The hotel is about a 20-minute
drive to the airport, but the airport is a busy one so we recommend flights
leaving 6:00 or later. The show hotel is just off I-4, easily accessed from
major interstates (directions will be provided with your confirmation).
Show Hours:
Check-in will be from 7:30 to 8:30 a.m. Saturday. Judging will begin promptly
at 9:00 a.m. Advertised show hours will be 9:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. both days.
Please plan to remain in the showhall during advertised show hours. We need
our gate!
Show Rules:
TICA show rules will be strictly enforced. By entering, exhibitors agree
to abide by the decisions of the judges and show committee. Official show
rules, registration information andforms may be obtained from TICA,
P.O. Box 2684, Harlingen, TX 78551 or viewed on their website at www.tica.org.
Payment: By
entering the show, you agree to pay all fees whether you attend the show
or not. Fees must be received no later than the closing date of 7/18/2008
unless you receive permission from show manager. The club reserves the right
to require payment in cash or money order. There will be a $20 fee for those
paying at the door. Entries belonging to exhibitors on TICA's Temporary
or Permanent Suspension lists will not be accepted. AquaTICAts, Inc. will
pursue any debt owed us to the extent of TICA show rules and Florida law.
Registration:
Except for Korats, registration with TICA is not required to compete.
However, to be scored for TICA titles and regional / International awards,
cats, kittens, alters and household pet adults must be registered. Championship
cats, kittens, alters and adult household pets will only be scored once
without a registration number. Household pet kittens (4-7 months) need not
be registered to be scored. Household Pet adults must be spayed or neutered
to be eligible to compete.
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”). Florida law requires any animal over
the age of 4 months be vaccinated against rabies within the last 12 months
(be prepared to show proof)! TICA show rules require all claws, front
and back, be clipped prior to judging.
For Sale:
Sales cages will be available to exhibitors. TICA rules allow no more than
two kittens or one cat benched in a single cage. No kitten under 3 months
of age will be allowed in the showhall (be prepared to show proof of age).
NO KITTENS OR CATS MAY BE CONFINED TO CARRIERS, EITHER DISPLAYED OR UNDER
CAGES, DURING SHOW HOURS. Any person disregarding these rules will be asked
to leave the show. Florida requires health certificates accompany any
animal sold in the state. If you are bringing cats or kittens to sell,
Destiny Cat Fanciers strongly advises you familiarize yourself with the
applicable statutes and takes no responsibility for your failure to do so.
Supplies:
Cat litter will be available, but please bring your own litter pan and
food and water dishes! Each entry will be assigned a single cage, approx.
24" X 26" X 24". The two sides, back, and top must be covered. For the comfort
of your cat(s), please bring something for the bottom of the cage too! Clerks:
Are indispensable! Ring clerks will be reimbursed one day's entry fee per
day clerked, plus lunch, soft drinks and a marked catalog, not to mention
our undying gratitude. Requests for specific judges will be honored to the
extent possible on a first come, first served basis and are subject to change.
Currently licensed TICA clerks will be given preference. Trainees and assistants
are always welcome. Clerks and trainees will be given preferential benching
if we know in advance that you will be clerking!
Awards: Rosettes
will be awarded in accordance with TICA show rules. Donations to our rosette
fund are greatly appreciated! If you wish to sponsor any special awards,
please contact the show manager. There will be top 3 Best of the Best cat/kitten/alter/hhpk/hhp
