I hope someone gets this post. This doesn't seem to be a very popular site.
We got a red tabby from a shelter volunteer, about 10 days ago. My child wants to know about entering her in a cat show.
What creeintials are required? Qhat do they look for?
Any info would be appreciated.

Laura, many shows have a Household Pet Divison. An entry form would be needed for the show and can be obtained by contacting the person acting as the Entry clerk. For HHP, no pedigree is required. Usually the class is judged by appearance and temperment. Specific information should be available on the show's website or via the organization's website. Check the Event list on the CatHobbyist main page for links which should take you to a show's site or the organization's site. If you haven't attended a show, go to one first and see how it is done. Ask some of the exhibitors at the show to give you some pointers and assistance. Cat shows are lots of fun, whether you are showing or just going to enjoy seeing all the different breeds. CFA for one has a junior showmanship program for youngsters interested in getting into showing cats.
Good luck and keep us posted on your experiences!

You can obtain a form for showing a Household Pet for TICA shows here: http://www.tica.org/hhpform.pdf
To find any TICA shows near you, go look at the cat show calendar here: http://home.flash.net/~debreed/calendar.htm
Now if you are wanting to show in CFA, the info is here: http://www.cfainc.org/shows/hhp.html
And you can find their shows here: http://www.cfainc.org/exhibitors/show-schedule.html
I hope this helps -- feel free to contact me or ask questions of the associations. Hopefully this will give you a hand in figuring out what to do!
