ACTIVITIES AND OPERATIONS

TICA cat shows are held in the United States, Canada, Asia, Europe, Mexico, and South America. These shows are judged by highly respected members of the Cat Fancy who have completed an extensive apprenticeship and examination process which fully qualifies them to evaluate a quality cat show exhibit.
 
The TICA Executive Office, located in Harlingen, Texas, is a modern computerized office and has grown from a small operation to an efficient, professional and fully-staffed office. Each year the TICA Executive Office expands to keep up with the growing needs of a rapidly expanding workload. A toll-free 800 number was installed to provide show information to exhibitors in the United States and Canada.
 
In keeping with the Mission and Policy Statements of TICA, the Feline Welfare Committee, under the guidance of the Board of Directors, has adopted the Voluntary Cattery Evaluation Program and the Voluntary Code of Ethics. The goal is to provide education, information, and guidance to breeders so that they are aware of proper husbandry and cattery management techniques. The Voluntary Cattery Evaluation Program recognizes TICA Outstanding Catteries and TICA Catteries of Merit.
