BENCHING AND SUPPLIES:  A single cage (22”x22”x22”) is provided for each cat entered.  Two (2) kittens or one (1) cat are
permitted in a single cage.  Double cages (22”x22”x45”) are available upon request for an additional fee of $25.  Since single
width “wire” cages are unavailable, if you are bringing your own cage, even if only a single width cage, you must purchase a
double cage space. A grooming space is the same size as a double cage space. Special benching requests will be honored to
the best of our ability.  For your cat’s comfort, the top, sides, and bottom of the cages must be covered.  Vending from the
benching area is prohibited unless prearranged with the club.  Litter will be provided, but please bring your own litter box.

CATS FOR SALE:  Sales cages will be available to exhibitors only and cats or kittens for sale must be owned by the same paid
exhibitor.  Kittens must be three (3) calendar months of age.  Proof of age must be provided on request.  No kittens or cats may
be confined to carriers during show hours.  Any person disregarding these rules will be asked to leave the showhall.
Florida requires health certificates accompany any animal sold in the state. Sandy Claws Cat Fanciers takes no responsibility for
your failure to familiarize yourself with applicable Florida statutes.  Health Certificates must be available for review if requested.

HEALTH REQUIREMENTS:  This is a non-vetted show.  Cats showing signs of ear mites, fleas, fungus, or any other illness will
not be permitted in the showhall.  All entries should be immunized against feline rhinotracheitis, calicivirus, and feline enteritis,
and should test negative for feline leukemia and feline AIDS.  Any cat or kitten from a house or cattery where there has been
fungus or any infectious or contagious illness within 21 days prior to the opening date of the show is ineligible for entry and/or
exhibition. Any cat which is obviously pregnant or lactating will be disqualified.  All claws (front and back) must be clipped prior to
judging.  Declawed cats are eligible for competition, although this practice is not sanctioned.
Florida law requires any animal over the age of 4 months be vaccinated against rabies within the last 12 months.  Proof of
current rabies vaccination might be requested.  

REGISTRATION:  With the exception 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, but is required for confirmation of titles and
scoring for TICA Regional and International Awards after the cat’s first TICA show.

HOUSEHOLD PETS:  HHPs over the age of 7 months of age must be spayed or neutered.  If you are unsure of your cat’s color,
please send a color photo of your cat along with your entry.  Printed photos will be returned at check-in.

KITTENS:  Kittens entered in the show must be at least 4 months, but less than 8 months, of age on the day of the show.  
Altered kittens are eligible for entry.
