BENCHING & SUPPLIES: Bring your own cage is encouraged.  Benching is by Double Cage Space Only. Our fees are kept as low as possible to help you, the exhibitor. No kitten under 3 months of age will be allowed in the show hall (be prepared to show proof of age.) We place cages according to what is submitted on the summary form. If you answer "Own Cage" with *no* (meaning you are not bringing your own cage), a wire cage sized to your entry payment will be placed and a nominal fee of $10.00 will be assessed.  We must know who will be providing their own cage--setting-up/removing wire cages unnecessarily may incur an additional service fee. Odd numbered entries must buy a 1/2 space/cage, see Summary for prices.

A grooming or exhibition-only space is the same size as a double cage space: 22” x 44”. You must have an entry in the show to purchase a sales/exhibition cage. All cages must be covered on the top, sides, back, and bottom. Everyone is expected to supply their own litter and litter boxes; however, we will have a limited amount of litter and disposable cardboard litter boxes as a courtesy to those who fly-in to exhibit at our show. Special benching requests will be honored to the best of our ability. "Handicapped" is a benching request and only one request is considered. Agent request takes priority over benching request. Clerks will be benched first. Vending from the benching area is strictly prohibited.
