Reservation cut-off is March 26 -- rooms may not be available after that date. Free hot buffet breakfast and evening cocktail reception are included. The free evening cocktail reception includes meatballs, egg rolls, chicken fingers, and other finger foods to make up an excellent dinner for those on a budget!
Please make every effort to leave your room in the condition it was found, if not better! Be sure to confine spraying males (and females!) and clean up after yourself and your cats. TICA Hotel Guidelines will be followed and can be viewed at http://tica.org/members/forms/eo/hotel_room_policy.pdf
Entry in this show, and lodging at the show hotel, shall constitute an acknowledgment by and consent of the exhibitor to these procedures.

Transportation: Most major carriers fly into Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. 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 show hotel is easily accessed from I-75.

Show Hours: Check-in will be from 8:00 to 9:00 AM Saturday. Judging will begin promptly at 9:30 AM on Saturday, 9:00 AM Sunday. Advertised show hours will be 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM Saturday, 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM Sunday. 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 and forms 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 April 5, 2010. The club reserves the right to require payment in cash or money order. Unfortunately, due to the irresponsible behavior of some exhibitors, we must require that all payments be received by the time the catalog is printed. NO PAYMENTS OF ANY KIND WILL BE ACCEPTED AT THE DOOR. Entries belonging to exhibitors on TICA's Temporary or Permanent Suspension lists will not be accepted. Southern SophisTICAts will pursue any debt owed us to the extent of TICA show rules and Georgia law.

Registration: With the exception of cats competing in the Preliminary New Breed, Advanced New Breed, and New Traits classes, registration with TICA is not required to compete. However, to be scored for TICA titles and annual awards, cats must be registered before their second show. Declawed cats may compete in all classes.

Health: This is a non-vetted show. Any cat showing signs of illness, parasites (including fleas) 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"). All entries should also have a current rabies vaccination. TICA show rules require all claws, front and back, be clipped prior to benching. Georgia law requires any animal over the age of 4 months to be vaccinated against rabies within the last 12 months (be prepared to show proof). Regulations can be found here: http://agr.georgia.gov/00/article/0,2086,38902732_0_40630281,00.html

Grooming spaces: These measure approximately 22 inches x 22 inches x 44 inches.

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 show hall (be prepared to show proof of age), and no kittens or cats may be confined to carriers or kept under benching cages during show hours. If you are bringing cats or kittens to sell, Southern SophisTICAts strongly advises you familiarize yourself with the applicable statutes and takes no responsibility for your failure to do so. Regulations can be found here: http://agr.georgia.gov/00/article/0,2086,38902732_0_40630281,00.html

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 not sure of the proper division or color of your cat, check out http://www.seregiontica.org/Colors/intro.htm or send the entry clerk a color photo of your entry. Photo will be returned at check in.

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: Plaques will be awarded in accordance with TICA show rules. If you wish to sponsor any special awards, please contact the show manager.

NOTE: Southern SophisTICAts, Drury Inn & Suites, and Atlanta Farmers Market may NOT be held liable for loss, theft, or damage to animals, personal property, exhibitors, or their guests.
