Non-pedigrees - known in TICA as Household Pets (HHPs) - do not need to be registered with TICA to be shown.
However, as TICA is unique amongst the mainstream registries in offering titles and Regional or International Awards to HHPs, it is worth registering your pet with TICA if you intend to show on a regular basis and want to earn titles and compete for the Regional/International Awards.
The application form (a copy is available from the TICA site here) is straightforward to complete.
You need to list the cat’s name, birth-date, whether Longhair (LH) or Shorthair (SH), sex, the date the cat was altered (i.e. neutered), provide the colour and pattern and also the eye colour.
If you are not sure of your cat’s colour, the "what colour is my cat?" website may help you decide
You will also need to provide your name and address details on the form.
All registrations are handled centrally by TICA’s Executive Office in Harlingen, Texas, USA. They will accept registration applications by mail, fax or email (enclose a scanned copy of your application form). Their address details are:
It is not necessary to send paper copies if you have sent the paperwork electronically via email
Registration of an HHP costs $9 ($7 for TICA members) per cat.
Payment is easiest from the UK by credit card. You are advised not to send credit card details using email as this is not a secure method. If using a credit card, send the details (i.e. cardholder name, card number and expiry date) via airmail or via Fax. You now also need to supply the 3 digit verification number (on the rear of your credit card in the signature strip) whenever paying by credit card.
As an alternative, you can pay via Paypal quoting the address accounting@ticaeo.com. Please advise the EO that you have used this method, and provide enough information in your PayPal payment to identify both you and the cat
