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.
