In consideration of our paying spectators, no cat will be allowed to leave the show hall before 4:00 pm without the permission of the show management.

TRANSPORTATION:   Bradley International or Providence, Rhode Island Airports are the most accessible.

REGISTRATION:   With the exception of Korats, Preliminary New Breeds and Advanced New Breeds, registration with TICA is not necessary to compete in the cat's first show, but is required for the 2nd and subsequent shows and for confirmation of championships and TICA Regional and International awards. Please contact TICA for registration forms and information.   MysTICAts reserves the right to verify registration number with TICA's EO.

SHOW RULES:   TICA show rules will be strictly enforced. By entering, all exhibitors agree to abide by the decisions of the judges and the Show Committee. Official Show Rules may be obtained from TICA for $5.00 (TICA, P.O. Box 2684, Harlingen, TX 78551).

BENCHING AND HEALTH RULES:  All exhibitors must check in at the door prior to benching. This is a non-vetted show. Cats showing signs of earmites, fleas, fungus, or any illness will not be permitted in the show hall. 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. All entries should be immunized against feline rhinotracheitis, calici virus, and feline enteritis, and should be tested negative for feline leukemia and feline AIDS. Connecticut State law requires rabies inoculation. All claws (front and back) must be clipped prior to judging.

KITTENS AND CATS FOR SALE:   Kittens for sale must be at least 3 calendar months old. Proof of age (i.e. litter registration) must be presented on request to show committee. Two kittens or one cat are permitted in a single cage. NO KITTENS OR CATS MAY BE CONFINED TO CARRIERS, EITHER DISPLAYED OR UNDER CAGES, DURING SH0W HOURS. Any person disregarding these rules will be asked to leave the show. If you have kittens for sale, please contact the show managers for information about Connecticut State Law pertaining to kitten sales. Mysticats and TICA will not be held liable if you do not abide by these laws.

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. HHP's are judged in 10 divisions. If you are unsure of your cat's color and division, please contact the entry clerk for help or send a color photo of your entry. Photo will be returned at check in.

CAT SUPPLIES:   Litter will be supplied by the club. Please bring your own litter box, cat food and food dishes. A single cage (approx. 22x22x22) is provided for each entered cat. A limited number of double cages (22x22x44) will be available on a first come, first served basis (see summary sheet). NOTE: you get a double cage automatically when you enter two cats, of course they must share the cage. For your cats comfort, the top, sides and bottoms of cages must be covered.

CLERKS AND STEWARDS:   Ring Clerks will be paid $35 per day plus a fully marked catalog and lunch. Stewards will receive $20 per ring per day and lunch. 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. Breed awards will be presented as available.

LIABILITY:   Neither MysTICAts nor TICA will be held liable for injury, loss or damage to cats, exhibitors, property of exhibitors, vendors or other such persons or property in attendance.
