On behalf
of my child, (named above), I hereby release, discharge and waive any suit,
action, claim or any other proceeding of any nature that might otherwise
be brought against The Cat Fanciers’ Association, Inc. (CFA) or any member
club, judge, clerk, steward or any person acting on behalf of CFA or any
member club, judge, clerk or steward regarding any injury or illness arising
or alleged to have arisen in any manner whatsoever out of my child’s participation
in the CFA Junior Showmanship Program. I voluntarily execute this Release
and Waiver in full knowledge and appreciation that my child will, during
his/her participation in the program, be exposed to and will handle cats,
and will be in show halls in the presence of many people and cats. I fully
realize and appreciate that cats may bite and/or scratch, and that bites
and scratches may result in serious illnesses or injuries. I also fully
realize and appreciate that exposure to cats may result in allergies or
other injuries even if no biting or scratching takes place. Finally, I realize
that my child’s participation will require his/her presence in public facilities,
and that he/she will be subjected to such accidental injuries or illnesses
as may from time to time occur to members of the public present in such
facilities. I execute this Release and Waiver in belief that the potential
benefits to my child resulting from his/her participation in the CFA Youth
Development Program outweigh the risk of illness or injury involved, and
I fully understand that the execution of the Release and Waiver is a condition
of my child’s participation in the program.
