TICA is the acronym for THE INTERNATIONAL CAT ASSOCIATION, the world’s largest genetic registry of pedigree and non-pedigreed cats and one of the world’s largest sanctioning bodies for cat shows. TICA is committed to the promotion, protection and preservation of both pedigreed and non-pedigreed cats. The organization currently (as this changes often) recognizes fifty-five breeds of cats. TICA also registers household pet cats and kittens, and is the only registry that allows household pets to compete for the same titles and regional and international awards as the pedigreed cats. The organization has 236 active clubs that host shows attended by exhibitors and breeders in North America, South America, Asia, Europe and Africa. Headquartered in Harlingen, Texas, TICA will celebrate its 30th anniversary during 2009. To learn more about TICA read our About TICA .
