Registration: With the exception of cats competing in the Preliminary New Breed, Advanced New Breed, and New Traits classes, registration with TICA is not necessary to compete in the cat's first show. However, to be scored for TICA titles and regional / International awards, all cats must be registered by their second show. Please contact TICA for registration forms and information (TICA, P. O. Box 2684, Harlingen, TX 78551).

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 & forms may be obtained from TICA, P.O. Box 2684, Harlingen, TX 78551 or viewed on their website at www.tica.org.

Benching: By exhibitor. One adult or two kittens are allowed per single cage space. A single cage space measures 22 inches x22 inches x 22 inches. A double cage space (extra half cage) measures 22 inches x 44 inches x 22 inches. All cages must be covered on three sides. For the cat's comfort, we recommend that you provide a rug and a top cover as well. All cats and kittens present in the show hall must have an assigned cage. Vending from the benching area is prohibited. Special benching requests will be honored to the best of our ability.

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

Services: Litter will be available. Please bring your own litter pans, cat food, and bowls. There will be people food available in the show hall.

Health: This is a non-vetted show. Cats showing signs of ear mites, fleas, fungus, or other illness will be escorted from along with any other cats owned, housed, or agented by the same exhibitor. All entries should be immunized against feline rhinotracheitis, calici virus, and panleukopenia, and should test negative for feline leukemia and feline AIDS. Any feline from a house or cattery where there has been fungus or any infectious or contagious illness within twenty-one days prior to the opening day of the show is ineligible for entry. An obviously pregnant or lactating cat will be disqualified. TICA show rules require all claws, front and back, be clipped prior to judging.

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. If you are not sure of the proper class 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.

Clerks/Stewards: Ring Clerks will be paid $35 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.

Liability: CAT-N-AROUND FELINE FANCIERS, TICA, or the Grand Resort Hotel & Convention Center will not be held liable for injury, loss or damage to cats, exhibitors, property of exhibitors, vendors or other such persons or property in attendance.
