CATTERY
INSPECTION PROGRAM
The
TCCI Cattery Inspection Program was developed to maintain
the welfare of cats, and define a level of acceptable integrity
of all TCCI affiliated Catteries. There are levels of minimum
acceptable performance, and recognition of higher levels of
performance. Once welfare of the cats is ensured, it's important
to ensure the level of service provided to future owners of
the cats. It is a distinguished and earned privilege to pass
this inspection. Each cattery which passes will receive an
attractive certificate which can be displayed with pride.
THE
PROGRAM
TCCI
offers, to TCCI registered catteries, a "TCCI Approved
Cattery Inspection Program." Any TCCI registered cattery
in good standing may participate in this VOLUNTARY program.
Inspections are conducted by licensed Veterinarians using
standard TCCI inpsection forms. The inspections should be
conducted on an annual basis. These
inspections can be timed to coinside with any other association
inspections.

INSPECTION INSTRUCTIONS
FEES
The
initial fee for participation in this program is $25.00. Yearly
renewals will be issued after successful reinspection for
$10.00. Cattery owners are responsible for all Veterinarian
fees.
TCCI
APPROVED CATTERY
A
cattery passing the inspection with an average score of 2.0
or greater is eligible to receive the TCCI Cattery certificate
(subject to disclaimer), stating the cattery is an approved
TCCI cattery. The certificate also displays the TCCI logo,
the signature of the TCCI representative, the date of inspection
and the renewal date.
TCCI
SUPREME CATTERY OF EXCELLENCE
A
cattery which receives a rating of 3.1 or higher is eligible
for "TCCI Cattery of Excellence." Catteries which
receive this represent the outstanding examples of TCCI catteries.
These catteries receive a similar certificate as the TCCI
Approved Cattery, but it indicates the TCCI Supreme Cattery
of Excellence. There is no extra charge for this rating, and
all aspects of the program are the same as for the TCCI Approved
Cattery. These
catteries which pass this program will have their rating listed
on our Breeders Lists.
ACCEPTABILITY
Any
cattery which scores one "unacceptable" or has a
rating less than 2.0 is not eligible for placement on our
Breeders List. A cattery which does not meet the requirements
for receiving the TCCI Approved Cattery rating may request
another inspection at any time.
