WELCOME!!! We hope you will enjoy showing your kitty!
The CFA does not allowed declawed cats to be shown. Kittens must be 4 months old and Adult Cats must be 8 months of age on the day of the show to be in the Adult Class. All Cats that are going into the Premiership Class are to be spayed or neutered, as are the Household Pets that are 8 months of age. Make sure your cat is up to date on all shots. HOW TO ENTER You must fill out a Cat Show Entry Form. Most people now-a-days enter shows online. Just remember that payment is due within 10 days of entering online or at check-in at the show, whichever comes first. Many shows accept Paypal. However, if you have enough time, you can also download an entry form and mail it in along with a check for the entry fees. The Cat Show Flyer will have who and where to send payment to. Directions to the show hall will be sent to you with both the hotel and show hall with your registration. When entering one cat at the Cat Show I would recommend getting what is known as a double cage which costs only about $15 or $20 extra. You and your cat will be there for two days and it is nice for the both of you to have the extra space. Upsizing to a double is on the Cat Show Entry Form located under Special Requests. WHAT TO BRING The Clubs that are putting on the Cat Show will have the cage for you and litter, however you need to bring your own litter pan. Don't forget to bring:
The CFA requires that you cover your cage on the ends, the top and the back. Also, there needs to be a covering on the table where the cage sits.
OK, so you can MAKE Show Curtains..or you can buy them (kind of expensive) You can buy material...something washable and you could hem the ends and even add ruffles or lace etc if you ar efeeling clever:
OR..... Get a bath towel for the bottom and a couple twin sized sheets! EASY! You might also want to get some clips to secure the top and sides of the cage down that way you will secure it so the cat cant push it up and get out. This you can get at any stationary store. OR... You can buy a nice canvas 'cat show tent' - they are convenient, easy to set up and great if you travel with your pet. Visit:
