Show Hall: Seguin Event Complex, 950 S. Austin Street, Seguin, TX 78155. The show hall is climate controlled and handicapped accessible. People food will be available in the show hall.

Show Hotel: There is no designated show hotel / no special rates. Below are some motels that accept pets:

Whatever hotel you use, please be sure to confine spraying males (and females!) & clean up after yourself and your cats so we will be welcome here again.

Please make every effort to leave your room in the condition it was found, or better. Tipping housekeeping staff doesn't hurt - happy housekeeping staff don't complain to management! Trash bags (& litter) will be available for your convenience. If you have a problem you can't take care of yourself, please let show management know and we will do whatever we can to help. The condition of your room reflects on the entire cat fancy, and it only takes one mishap to lose a hotel (even a whole chain) forever.

Health: This is a non-vetted show. Any cat showing signs of illness, parasites or fungus will be escorted from the show hall, along with any cats owned, housed or agented by the same exhibitor. All entries should be vaccinated against feline viral rhinotracheitis, calici and distemper (panleukopenia) at least two (2) weeks prior to the show, and should test negative for feline leukemia and FIV ("feline AIDS"). Any feline from a house or cattery where there has been fungus or any infectious or contagious illness within twenty-one (21) days prior to the opening day of the show is ineligible for entry. An obviously pregnant or lactating cat will be disqualified. Be prepared to show proof of rabies vaccination. It is state law. TICA show rules require all claws, front and back, be clipped prior to judging. Declawed cats are eligible for entry.

Grooming spaces: These measure 22 inches x 22 inches x 44 inches.

Benching:Each entry will be assigned a single cage, approx. 24" X 26" X 24". Double cages are 22" X 22" X 44". The two sides, back, and top must be covered. For the comfort of your cat(s), please bring something for the bottom of the cage too! TICA rules allow no more than two kittens or one cat benched in a single cage. NO KITTENS OR CATS MAY BE CONFINED TO CARRIERS, EITHER DISPLAYED OR UNDER CAGES, DURING SHOW HOURS. Any person disregarding these rules will be asked to leave the show.

For Sale: Sales cages will be available to exhibitors. If you are bringing cats or kittens to sell, Mission City Cat Club strongly advises you familiarize yourself with the applicable statutes and takes no responsibility for your failure to do so.

Household Pets: Household pets are very welcome at this show! Declawed Household Pets are OK at TICA shows. This is due to the number of HHPs that are rescue cats and may have already been declawed at the time of rescue. Household Pets eight (8) months of age and older MUST be spayed or neutered. If you are not sure of the proper division or color of your cat, check out http://www.seregiontica.org/Colors/intro.htm or send the entry clerk a color photo of your entry. Photo will be returned at check in. If you are not sure if your cat is considered a longhair or shorthair, please send a color photo to the entry clerk and a description of the hair length on the tail. Measure if necessary. Your picture will be returned at check-in. You will also have an opportunity Saturday morning to have the senior judge make a final determination if the color / pattern are still in question.

Supplies: Cat litter will be available, but please bring your own litter pan and food and water dishes!

Clerks and Stewards: Ring Clerks will be paid $35.00 per day and provided lunch and a fully marked catalog. Stewards will receive $15.00 per ring per day and lunch. Please indicate on the Summary Sheet if you are interested in serving as a Ring Clerk or Steward (or have a child interested in being a Steward). Do not deduct clerking fees from your entry. Requests for specific judges will be honored to the extent possible. Currently licensed TICA clerks will be given preference.
