Membership and Registrations

Membership/ Cattery Application "5-years-special"  

pay for 5 years and save money!
Membership application
PDF / submit form
This is what you need if you want to become a TICA member. Members have the right to participate in elections, make suggestion for changes to the rules of the organization or the standard of their breed. Members also receive the TICA TREND.
Cattery application
If you would like to have your cattery name protected with TICA you need to fill out this form. Cattery registrations are a one time deal. You pay once - you keep the cattery name for a lifetime.
Application for registration of litter
If you would like to register a litter with TICA you need to fill out this form. The dam must be TICA registered. The sire may be TICA registered. If he is not registered yet you have to send in a certified pedigree for the application to be processed. When you register a litter with TICA you will receive Blue Slips . These Blue Slips can be sent in to receive a registration certificate.
Register an individual cat -  Instructions and pedigree form
This is the form you need to fill out if you want to register a single cat which has not been registered through a litter registration already. You need to register cats you want to show at TICA shows (you need to apply for registration latest before you take the cat to the second show - otherwise you will lose points!). If you want to register your litters with TICA you need to at least register the dam before you apply for a litter registration.
Household Pet registration application
Showing Household Pets is a lot of fun! Try it out at one of the shows near you. You do not have to register your kitty before you want to go and try it out. If you and your cat like it you just need to apply for registration before you go to the second show. Obviously you do not have to specify pedigree information which is why this is a different form than for purebred cats. But in TICA Household Pets get titles and international awards just like pedigreed cats.
Foundation cat certification form
If you would like to register your cat with TICA but you do not have the complete pedigree information you might be able to register your cat anyway using this form.
Lease form
You need this form if someone will be showing your cat while you remain in our records as owner of the cat.

Application for recognition of wins
PDF / RTF
If you have been to a show (or more :-) you can apply for the recognition of your cat's wins - or in other words for the certification of the title your cat earned. Your cat has to be registered to get a title confirmation - and you also have to apply for registration of the cat before you take it to his or her second show!
Application for Outstanding Sire/Dam
Outstanding Sire and Outstanding Dam are special titles awarded to cats who have been very successful in producing show cats. If your cat's kids have been doing well in the show ring you might be able to get them this extra recognition.
Application for Lifetime Achievement Award
The Lifetime Achievement Award is given to very successful show cats. Check out whether your cat meets the requirements and get them into the list of the few select outstanding show cats!
