What is TICA?

The International Cat Association® (TICA®) is the world’s largest genetic registry of pedigreed cats and the largest registry of household pet cats and kittens. TICA was the first and now the world’s largest registry to allow household cats of unknown ancestry to compete for the same titles and awards as pedigreed cats. The knowledgeable breeding of pedigreed cats preserves the distinct characteristics of individual pedigreed breeds and ensures the continuation of predictable physical and behavioral traits for future generations.

TICA was founded in 1978 and revolutionized the sport of cat competitions with a completely new and different judging system. TICA maintains written standards for cats of all breeds, promulgates the rules for cat shows hosted by its affiliated clubs, and trains and licenses judges for those shows. Each year, TICA-affiliated clubs host hundreds of shows on every continent across the globe.
