Exhibitors wishing End of Aisle – Please be aware that you MAY NOT place your grooming tables, coolers, etc. at the end of aisle BECAUSE OF FIRE LAWS. This is a union showhall, and the Fire Marshall will be in the showhall throughout the weekend. Should you not adhere to these rules, you will be asked to leave the showhall. Those wishing end of aisle must follow this rule. Those needing additional space should request a grooming space on the Summary Sheet.
Benching:All exhibitors will have assigned benching. Benching requests MUST be clearly indicated on the summary sheets, and we will try to accommodate all requests. Otherwise we will bench by breed. No one may change their benching without permission of Show Management. No companion cats allowed without the express permission of the Show Committee.
For Sale: Cats and kittens for sale will be permitted. Cages are restricted to one cat or two kittens per 1/2 cage for the weekend. Once that animal is sold you may not place another animal for sale into that cage without paying the appropriate fees. Cats and kittens may not be stored in kennels or carriers. Kittens must be 3 months of age/have a health certificate and proof of litter registration in TICA.
Health Rules:This is a non-vetted cat show. It is recommended that all entries be up to date on all immunizations. Connecticut requires that all cats over 12 weeks of age must be vaccinated for rabies. You must be able to produce a rabies certificate for all entries and cats for sale. Any cats showing evidence of fungus, ear mites, fleas, or a contagious disease will be removed from the show hall as well as any other cats from the same household, and all wins will be forfeited. A Veterinarian will be on call to examine any such animals at the owner’s expense. HHP adults must be neutered. All claws, front and back, on all entries must be clipped prior to benching.
Registration:Pedigreed cats and household pets may be shown in TICA with a pending registration number. Points may be claimed after the registration number is assigned, but only for the first show where the cat didn’t have a registration number in the catalogue. Subsequent shows without a registration number will not be scored. All ANB, PNB and NT entries must have a registration number in the catalog to be shown.
