LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE The Legislative Committee of The International Cat Association will increase awareness of legislative issues which may negatively impact pet ownership and the cat fancy, and provide a resource center to enable fanciers to fight detrimental legislation or advance beneficial legislation.
RESCUE COMMITTEE The mission of the TICA Rescue Committee is to support, facilitate, and help to provide purebred cat breed rescue, to help all cats by continuing the cat fancy's long-standing tradition of support for and encouragement of responsible rescue efforts, and to provide education regarding responsible cat ownership and responsible breeding.
MARKETING COMMITTEE The TICA Marketing Committee is seeking opportunities to put TICA's name in front of as many people as we can - both here in the USA and internationally as well.

HOUSEHOLD PET COMMITTEE The primary goal of the Household Pet Committee is to facilitate and advance TICA's outreach to - and ensure the inclusion of - household pets and their owners as equals with pedigreed cats and their owners, both in the show rings, and in levels of respect within the cat fancy.
