TICA Registration/Fees/General Questions
If you have general questions about showing your cat and what happens at shows, Barbara French has written several articles. The first concerns making an informed decision about whether to show your cat and what you need to do to prepare yourself and your cat to show, as well as the financial realities and the paperwork involved. The second article, What To Do at the Show, addresses what to do once you're there.

To register an individual cat, each Application for registration must be accompanied by:
1. A Certified pedigree;
a. This pedigree must be a minimum of a 3-generation, Certified pedigree from another association on the cat for which the application is being made,
b. A photocopy of a registration certificate from that association showing proof that the cat is owned by the person making the application and asking to be named the owner of the cat.
2. A minimum of a 3-generation pedigree:
a. The document must state the color, pattern, and the association's assigned registration number for each ancestor.
b. This pedigree must be signed by the breeder of the cat for which the application is being made and must include a statement that this pedigree is true and correct to the best of the breeder's knowledge.
c. There should also be a statement as to whether the cat may or may not breed.
d. A photocopy of a registration certificate format the association showing proof that the cat is owned by the person making the application and asking to be named the owner of the cat.
3. A completed Blue Slip (TICA Application for Registration of a Cat of a Registered Litter) form. The breeder must enter information as to sex, color, eye color, longhair (LH), shorthair (SH), standard (Std.), or nonstandard (NStd). Std or NStd are terms for mutation breeds and may be used for whatever mutation exists for the breed being registered.
4. Where extenuating circumstances are involved (such as death, repossession, etc.), application with applicable documentation will be considered on an individual basis by TICA's Executive Office.
5. At the time a litter is registered with TICA, Sections A, B, C, and D of the Litter Registration Application MUST be filled out. Please follow ALL instructions on the reverse side of the Litter Registration Application. This will eliminate delays. One or all of the kittens may also be individually registered by completing Section E for each kitten to be registered.

1. Kittens of a TICA registered dam must be litter registered before they may be individually registered. To register a litter, the dam must be TICA registered. If the dam was not registered at the time of breeding, she may be registered at the same time as the litter. However, the appropriate documents and fees must be provided. (See Registration of an Individual Cat)
2. If the sire and dam have different owners, the Litter Registration Application form must be signed by both the owner of the sire and the owner of the dam. If the sire or dam are registered to more than one owner with the word "and" between the names of the owners, then both owners must sign the Litter Registration Application. If the sire and dam are registered to more than one owner with a "/" between the names of the owners, then only one of the owners must sign the Application.
3. It is not required that the sire be registered with TICA. If he is not, however, a copy of a certified three-generation pedigree must be furnished with the litter registration documents, and the application must be signed by his owner(s). If the sire's certified pedigree is already on file with the Executive Office, the application must so state.

The prefix position in a cat's registered name is reserved for the breeder's TICA registered cattery name. The breeder is always the owner of the dam at the time of mating. The suffix position in a cat's registered name is reserved for the owner's TICA registered cattery name. The suffix follows the word "of" after the registered name of the cat. For example: Blue Star of Red means that Blue is the breeder's registered cattery name. Star is the name of the cat. Red is the owner's registered cattery name. Breeder's cattery names may not be removed. The suffix may change with a transfer of ownership. There is a fee for the deletion of a cattery suffix as well as one for adding a cattery suffix. [Note: A leasee may be the breeder if a valid lease is on file with the TICA Executive Office.]

If you are registering an "unnamed" cat for the first time, you may enter two choices of names for the cat at the top of the Application for Registration of a Cat of a Registered Litter. The owner's name, address, and city are not allowed in the name of the cat unless it is a TICA registered cattery. Names of cats and catteries may not be duplicated. Punctuation marks of any kind (&, ', #, etc.) are not allowed in the name of the cat with the exception of 's added to the breeder's registered cattery name as approved by the breeder. A cat's name, including cattery names and the word "of" may not exceed 35 letters/characters/spaces combined. If the name of the cat is longer than 35 letters/characters/spaces, the suffix will be dropped automatically.

This should not be considered negative - most breeders/exhibitors started out showing Household Pets. Household pets are judged in ten (10) divisions. If you are not sure which color or division your household pet is in, please send a color picture of your cat to the entry clerk.
