The exhibitor shouldn't be the one to be charged. THE ORGANIZER is the one that will be charged and make it payable to CFA.



Pls. read the below CFA Show Rules related to this matter:-

3.01 A cat or kitten shown in the wrong class or under incorrect name, ownership, or registration number may be disqualified by the Central Office and any wins voided.


3.01.01 A cat or kitten for which an entry form was not submitted prior to the close of entries is subject to disqualification. A cat or kitten being exhibited must match the entry form which was submitted for entry to the show.



4.01 & 11.01 Any person entering a cat or kitten in a show held under the rules of CFA shall by such act agree to abide by, and this person and the entry of this person shall be subject to, these rules.



15.01.1 Should the show manager permit a cat/kitten whose entry information is not printed in the catalog to compete, the show manager shall provide a written statement of explanation, for the review of CFA Central Office, which shall determine if the entry was eligible for competition. The show manager’s statement and all documents pertaining to his/her decision must be submitted with the show package to the Central Office. Entries deemed not eligible by the Central Office will not receive credit for any award(s) achieved at the show.

The show manager must prepare an addendum to include all information for any entry not included in the show catalog, which is to be posted with the master clerk and included with the official show records submitted to the central office. A fee of $50 per addendum will be charged to the club/entry clerk/show service and must be submitted with the show packet.



10.01 A protest asserting an alleged violation of these rules by any show official, judge, exhibitor or member club may be made by an exhibitor, an officiating judge or by a member of a member club and may first be made to the show committee in writing at the show or within thirty (30) days following the show. The show committee shall endeavor to gather all pertinent facts concerning the alleged violation(s) and in the event the show committee deems the protest to be supported by substantial evidence, the written protest and all relevant matter gathered by the show committee shall be forwarded the CFA Executive Board.

The Executive Board may, at it’s option, proceed to hear the protest after giving the party charged due notice and opportunity to be heard in accordance with Article XV of The CFA Constitution. Upon a finding of guilty, the Board shall prescribe punishment in accordance with Article XV of The CFA Constitution.
