"I've been in TICA since 1983. I still breed my cats. I still go to shows. I still love it the same way I did the first time."
With Luiz Paulo Faccioli for Vice President
Every continent. Every region. Every breed. Every show hall. That's the scale of what five years of building has shown.
Until ballots close: Thursday, November 19, 2026, 11:59 pm Central Time. Last day to request a paper ballot: Thursday, November 5.
Voting is open. Before you cast your ballot, hear directly from Vicki Jo about why she is running and what we will do together next.
Vicki Jo does not just lead TICA. She lives it, every day, in every part of it. Nothing about TICA is theory to her.
She still breeds Siamese, Oriental Shorthairs, Balinese and Oriental Longhairs.
She still brings her own cats into the ring, and still gets excited every time.
She still manages and runs shows, and helps her clubs put them on.
She sits on the Board and works with the Executive Office, so she sees how decisions are made and what they mean for you.
She uses the same TICA services you do. She knows when something works, and she knows when it does not, because she is on the other side of it too. That is why every decision starts with one question: Is this in the best interest of TICA, our members and our cats?
President · For Third Term
A TICA member since 1983, breeder, Allbreed Teaching and Training Judge, Ring and School Instructor, former South Central Regional Director, and the architect of TICA's most transformative presidency. She has been in this hobby for over forty years and she is not done yet.
Vice President
A TICA judge since 1993, Luiz Paulo has been at the board table for every major decision of this presidency. Calm, measured and deeply fair — a complete gentleman who brings thirty years of dedication and a continent of experience to this partnership.
"I consider Vicki a true friend. She is always concerned about others and lives for TICA 24 hours a day, trying to do her best for the association and especially its members. That is why I am so proud to run for Vice President alongside her."
