It is strongly advised that all cats or kittens entered or present in the show hall be inoculated before entry by a licensed veterinarian against feline enteritis, feline rhinotracheitis, calici viruses and rabies.

New Exhibitors - if you enter but you are unable to attend the show, you are still required to pay the entry fee. The club incurs a number of expenses regardless of attendance. For example each judge gets paid for every cat entered even if the cat is absent. We purchase awards, rent cages, chairs, etc. based on the number of exhibitors and cats who are entered in the show. We’re sorry; but once your cats are entered in the computer you are required to pay all fees due.
