TICA Cat Presentation & Education
The International Cat Association (TICA) is the world’s largest genetic registry of pedigreed cats. The International Cat Association (TICA) has thousands of members and hundreds of clubs around the world in Latin America, North America, Asia, and Europe that host cat shows all year. Fifty five breeds of cats, from the ancient Abyssinian to the newer breeds like the Pixie Bob, the naked Sphynx to the longhaired Norwegian Forest Cat, and including wild looking Savannahs and Bengals, compete for titles and regional and international awards. TICA also was the first cat–and now the world’s largest–registry to allow household cats and household kittens of unknown ancestry to compete for the same titles and awards at cat shows as pedigreed cats. Our motto is: Fabulous felines…fun…friendships. TICA cat shows are fun, TICA cats are fabulous, and TICA members are friendly. Cat loving kids get to learn the ropes through our junior exhibitor program and new breeders can learn more about the hobby through TICA mentorship programs. Wherever you are, you’re in TICA’s world! Visit our website at tica.org to learn more.
