This can include registration paperwork from another recognized registry, pedigree, or similar information. Contact the entry clerk for more information and assistance. Cats competing in the household pet and household pet kitten classes do not need to be registered or provide proof that they can be registered. However, to be scored for TICA titles and Regional/International awards, all cats (other than household pet kittens), must be registered with TICA before competing in their second show.
