Double cages (22x22x45) are available upon request for an additional fee of $25. 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. Litter will be provided, but please bring your own litter box.

CATS FOR SALE: 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.

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.

REGISTRATION: With the exception of Korats, 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.

HOUSEHOLD PETS: HHPs over the age of 8 months of age must be spayed or neutered. HHPs are judged in 10 divisions. If you are unsure of your cat’s color or division, please send a color photo of your cat, along with your entry. Your photo will be returned at check-in.

REGIONAL AWARD BANQUET: The 2007 Southeast Regional Awards banquet will be held Saturday, July 14, 2007 at the Marriott in Research Triangle Park. The Marriott is located approximately 1.5 miles from the Sleep Inn. Click here for more details on the banquet.

ICAT - CAT AGILITY: It's a cat playground, where your cat can stretch his legs and relax and de-stress between judging rings. No charge whatsoever for practice -- a small fee of $5 to register for the tournament if you get a good timed run, a clean run, or earn a skill certificate, plus a one-time registration fee of $10. But all payments may be made AFTER your cat participates, if you wish the certification. Your cat will then be registered as an International Agility Cat and you will receive a certificate suitable for framing after the tournament.

Your cat may surprise you -- cats quickly learn they are on an agility course with their people, and follow your lead around the course, over jumps, through the tunnel, and over and around obstacles. Of course, cats are cats, and some take to ICAT more readily than others, but it's great fun learning what your cat is willing to do. Almost all cats enjoy trying the course.

LIABILITY: First in Flight Cat Club, the Sleep Inn, the Marriott at Research Triangle Park and the North Carolina State Fairgrounds will not be held liable for injury, loss, or damage to cats, exhibitors, or property of exhibitors or vendors, or other such persons or property in attendance.
