SANITARY REQUIREMENTS
This is a non-vetted show. No kittens under 4 months of age will be allowed in the show hall. Proof of age must be presented upon the request of the show manager. It is strongly advised that all cats or kittens entered or present in the show hall are inoculated before entry by a licensed veterinarian against feline panleukopenia (formely known as feline distempter or feline infectious enteritis), feline rhinotracheitis, calici viruses and rabies. It is strongly recommended that cats and kittens be tested and found negative for FeLV before entry.

Under current CFA show rules, show management reserves the right to have any cat showing signs of illness, disease or parasites removed from the show hall, in order to protect other cats in the show. All claws must be clipped prior to benching. De-clawed cats are not eligible for entry. All household pet entries over 8 months of age must be spayed or neutered.

TRANSPORTATION between airport and show hotel on Friday
There is no oranized transportation between airport and show hall. Taxi between airport and hotel costs about 40-45€.

If you are travelling alone, best is to use airport taxi (yellow taxi with black Airport-text on the sides). Airport taxi is cheaper but most likely driver is going to collect several people in taxi who are going to same direction. It might take some time. This will cost about 30€/person.

If you are travelling with a friend or with a group (arriving quite the same time at airport) you should pre-order taxi. TJP-LINES offers excellent service and price is solid 45€ even if there is 1-9 people charing the taxi. This is the cheapest transportation between airport and show hotel. You can order JPT-LINES taxi from number: +358 200 99 999. Service number is open 24hours per day.

ENTERING WITH A CAT TO FINLAND
Finland is following EU regulations. The only extra Finland requires is tapeworm medication. Read more.

Since Cat Fanciers of Finland show is non-vetted show, there will be no veterinary present in our show. If you need some local stamps in your Pet passport, please, contact show secretary as soon as possible.
