CFA & TICA?
The Cat Fanciers’ Association (CFA) and The International Cat Association (TICA) are the two major cat registry organizations that celebrate and recognize excellence in pedigreed cats. CFA is best known across the U.S. for its traditional show format and long history, while TICA has a strong global presence with a points-based system and shows held all around the world. Both honor cats that embody the very best of their breed.
Why show in TICA & CFA?
TICA and CFA each recognize excellence in their own unique ways. In TICA, Cats earn titles and rankings based on points accumulated from multiple judges across shows, allowing them to achieve progressive titles such as Champion, Grand Champion, Double, Triple, and beyond. CFA , on the other hand, awards Grand points only from specific placements and finals, making each win, especially valuable. Both systems, celebrate quality, condition, and adherence to the breed - but with different paths to those prestigious titles.
For more detailed information about each organization’s scoring and title systems, please visit the official TICA website or CFA website. This link will help explain TICA’s points and titles a little better: ShowCatsOnline.
We proudly show our cats in both CFA and TICA because each organization celebrates the best of the breed. Competing in both allows our cats to be judged by top experts, earn prestigious titles, and continue proving that Treska Maine Coons meet - and exceed - the highest standards of excellence.
