The TICA Awards are a wonderful way to promote your cat and raise funds for your club. These shows are fun, and there are no entry fees. The winners will receive virtual ribbons and prizes for their efforts. Funds from these shows will go to help clubs whose membership has been affected by the Covid19 cancellation. You don’t have to be a TICA member to enter the show, and you don’t have to register your cat with TICA to win.
