GENERAL DIRECTIONS

1.     Please type or print neatly (in ink).  Complete all Sections with as much information as possible.  This will be used to determine the type of registration that is confirmed, according to the TCA, Inc.  rules.  Put the identity of the registering body (ie: TICA) in front of the registration number if it is other than a TCA, Inc. registration number. Use only TCA accepted colors, patterns, and Breed names as defined in the TCA Constitution and Bylaws, and corresponding Breed Standards.

2.     All Registered TCA Catteries should own a copy of the TCA Constitution and Bylaws, as well as each of the TCA Recognized Breed Standards.  These are used by the Breeder to accurately describe the cats and kittens to be registered.  Colors and patterns allowed are described in the Breed Standards.Breed is defined as a TCA recognized breed, such as Traditional Siamese or Classic Siamese, not Siamese by itself.

3.     For All spayed or neutered cats, an optional photo can be presented for insertion into the Stud Book. These will remain with the registration records for future reference, and become the property of the TCA, Inc. Registry.

4.     All cats will be given a description such as Championship Stock Traditional Siamese Seal Point Male, or Pure Foundation Stock Colorpoint Shorthair Seal Lynx Point Female.  These will be used to confirm the proper titles and descriptions in current and future shows and programs sponsored by TCA, Inc.
