Smooth process & quick turn around time.

Kit arrives in a few days after purchasing & has a quick turn around time since swabbing the sample can be done in one day & mailed back out! You also receive emails every step of the way to fill you in on the status of your kit. The breed + health marker reports give me peace of mind knowing my cat is not at risk for any major health diseases.

Excellent gift!

Perfect gift to your cat-loving friends and cat-owners. We learned a completely unexpected information about our cats' breed and genetic makeup! Very easy to use - and with a very comprehensive result review. We are excited to see what else will come of the research Basepaws continues to find!

Missing pieces to kitty's breed profile no longer a mystery!

Mousecop's results showed a confident match to Ragdoll, Maine Coon and Savannah cat. When I read the traits of these cats it was Mousecop spot on. I was also surprised at the amount of health markers that were tested and that he was only a carrier of Retinal Degeneration!
