TICA Junior Exhibitors

TICA Junior Exhibitors

Discover the future leaders of the feline world with The International Cat Association’s Junior Exhibitor Program. Do you want to find a fun hobby for your child where they can develop leadership and presentation skills? The Junior Exhibitor Program helps build confidence and self esteem while making new friends within the feline community. 

As a participant, you’ll develop into responsible and ethical cat fanciers, gaining valuable insights into cat breeds, exhibition, and show management. Earn prestigious awards, become a TICA and regional club member, and even obtain licenses as TICA clerks or show managers as you advance through the program.

As our Juniors advance through the levels, they learn from a large variety of activities which will educate and support within our TICA environment. Fundraising for clubs/rescues, designing catalog covers, mentoring fellow juniors, doing Tik Tok videos, participating in special events, participating in genetic sessions and assisting feline rescue groups are just a few fun things they can encounter.   Good sportsmanship is nurtured and encouraged with participation in special junior exhibitor rings at shows. 

Are you under the age of eighteen? Join the ranks of our Junior Exhibitors and embark on a journey of personal growth and achievement within TICA. Progress through six levels, each offering unique activities and testing questions tailored to enhance your understanding of TICA, show etiquette, cat health, and welfare.

Supported by dedicated mentors, you’ll engage in individual and group projects, participate in Junior Exhibitors rings, and hone your presentation skills. Our focus is on fostering a positive learning environment where you can have fun while deepening your bond with your feline companions.

Join us in empowering the next generation of cat enthusiasts. Enroll in the Junior Exhibitors Program today and embark on a rewarding journey of self-discovery and feline appreciation.

Junior Exhibitor Committee

The Junior Exhibitor Committee was formed to develop, test and refine a TICA Junior Exhibitor Program that will attract, engage and educate youthful exhibitors under the age of 18 by exposing TICA junior exhibitors to both competition and a continuing educational process as they work their way through six levels of achievement.
