Cats of the Finger Lakes has elected to use the Hotel Room Inspection Procedures for exhibitors who lodge at the Parkview Hotel using the club's group booking.

Registration: Pedigreed cats and household pets may be shown in TICA with a pending registration number. Points may be claimed after the registration number is assigned, but only for the first show where the cat didn't have a registration number in the catalog. Subsequent shows without a registration number will not be scored. All Korats (kittens, cats, alters), Provisional New Breed and Advanced New Breed entries *must* be TICA registered to be shown.
Supplies: Litter will be provided but please bring your own litter pans.
