In the case of a lease where only one of the owners sign the lease, to transfer the cat to the lessee, the signature of the other lessor would be required together with the transfer fee.

REGISTRATION OF AN INDIVIDUAL CAT

Each Application for registration must be accompanied by:
 
1. A minimum of a 3-generation Certified pedigree from another association on the cat for which application is being made and a photocopy of a registration certificate from that association showing proof that the cat is owned by the person making the application and asking to be named the owner of the cat. Fee - $15 each.
 
OR
 
2. A minimum of a 3-generation pedigree, stating the color and pattern and the registering association's assigned registration number, for each ancestor listed. This pedigree must be signed by the breeder of the cat for which application is being made and must include a statement that this pedigree is true and correct to the best of the breeder's knowledge, and a statement as to whether the cat may or may not breed. In addition, a photocopy of a registration certificate from the association showing proof that the cat is owned by the person making the application and asking to be named the owner of the cat. Fee - $15 each.
 
OR
 
3. A completed Blue Slip (TICA Application for Registration of a Cat of a Registered Litter) form. The breeder must enter information as to sex, color, eye color, longhair (LH), shorthair (SH), standard (Std), non-standard (NStd). Std or NStd (Standard or Non-Standard) are terms for mutation breeds and may be used for whatever mutation exists for the breed being registered. Owner(s) may enter two choices of names for cat at top of form. The owner's name, address, and city are not allowed in the name of the cat unless it is a TICA registered cattery. The names of cats may not be changed in any manner after they have been registered, except for the correction of clerical errors in the Executive Office; the addition of a cattery name as provided in ARTICLE VIII, Sections 7, 8, and 10 of the Registration Rules; to re-register as Household Pets, TICA registered championship class cats pursuant to Show Rule 3.12.a; or pursuant to the Registration Rules, ARTICLE IX, Section 3.d. Names of cats and catteries may not be duplicated. Punctuation marks of any kind (&, ', #, etc.) are not allowed in the name of the cat with the exception of 's added to the breeder's registered cattery name as approved by the breeder. Cats may not be named after an ancestor without written permission of the owner of the ancestor; a letter attesting to such permission is to be filed with the Executive Office. See Registration Rules, ARTICLE IX. A cat's name, including cattery names and the word "of" may not exceed 35 letters/characters/spaces combined. When the name of the cat is longer than 35 letters/characters/spaces, the suffix will be automatically dropped. Type or print the name of the owner (may not exceed 35 letters/characters/spaces) of the cat and complete address, city, state/country, and zip/postal code. Fee - $10 each.
When the wrong blue slip has been used to register a cat, the first registration must be revoked ($7 fee) and the cat must be registered from the correct blue slip ($10 fee).
Where extenuating circumstances (i.e., death, repossession, etc.) are involved, application with applicable documentation will be considered on an individual basis by TICA's Executive Office.
At the time a litter is registered with TICA, Sections A, B, C, and D of the Litter Registration Application MUST be filled out. Please follow all instructions on reverse side of Litter Registration Application thus eliminating any delays. One or all of the kittens may also be individually registered by completing Section E for each kitten to be registered. (See Registration of a Litter.)
