CAT REGISTRATION . . . . .

 UFO rules state that cats may show in one show without being registered. HOWEVER, they must be registered prior to entering their second show. Cats must be registered with UFO to be scored for National and Regional awards.  

Kittens must be registered before they are nine months old to be eligible for National and Regional awards.

An issue has come up at recent shows where people have entered cats (in their second show) that have not yet been registered. This is not fair to other exhibitors who comply with the rules, as it can rob their cats of points. Cats not registered before their second show will be denied entry.

 WHAT THIS MEANS FOR THIS SHOW. . . . .

This means that if you are entering BOTH days, your cat MUST BE REGISTERED BEFORE the Saturday show.  To assist you, we will be accepting registrations in conjunction with your show entry.

You must notify us when you submit your entry that you are also registering the cat at the show. You will need to bring the proper registration forms, any back-up documents required and the fee (payable to UFO, not the club) to the show and give them to the entry clerk when you sign in. We will submit your registration at the same time we send in the show catalog for National scoring.

If we have accepted your entry based upon your submitting their registration at the show and you DO NOT BRING IT, your entry will be denied and you will be charges a $20 administration fee.

If you need help with the forms or have questions, please contact Michelle Lucas at Royalpaws@msn.com .
