    Uncover the intriguing breeds that shape who your cat is.

    We dive into your cat’s genetic makeup and compare it to our extensive genome database to find similarities and help you understand your cat’s lineage (and build a stronger bond!). We collaborate with modern pedigree breeders to acquire our samples that represent 21 prominent breeds, including these four categories: Western (from Europe and the Americas), Eastern (from Asia), Persian (Persian and related cats), and Exotic (hybrids and Egyptian Mau).

    Safeguard your cat’s well-being & enjoy more snuggles together with peace of mind.

    This is a one-of-a-kind proactive health tool that screens your best friend for health risks and diseases – like active dental disease and 43 genetic feline diseases. We want you to better understand your cat’s health and make the most informed and confident health decisions possible.

    Your cat is cute AND captivating… now learn why.

    Discover the genes and mutations that contribute to your cat’s one-of-a-kind looks. We screen your cat’s DNA for 25 genetic traits, and they fall into five categories: coat length, coat color and pattern, coat texture, body morphology, and susceptibility to viral infection.

    Help shield your cat from silent oral health problems and costly surprises.

    You have this incredible power – to uncover your cat’s oral health problems before they become painful or need immediate veterinary attention. We screen your cat's mouth for the microbiome signatures associated with the three most common dental conditions in cats: Periodontal disease, Tooth resorption, and Bad breath (Halitosis).

    Empowered decisions to help safeguard your cat’s life

    Your cat can't tell you when something's wrong, but their DNA can offer clues. Basepaws gives you clear, science-backed health insights so care decisions can be confident ones. The right information, at the right time, can make all the difference.

    Health Screening

    You are in charge of your cat’s proactive care

    Your cat won't tell you when it’s sick. We test for 64 genetic markers, reporting on mutation carrier status and predisposition to 43 diseases, including Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD), Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), Retinal degeneration, Myotonia and more.

    Dental disease is a reality for most cats

    Dental diseases in cats can be tough to spot with the naked eye, especially in the early stages. A test for detecting risks of the three main common dental diseases in cats is included in your DNA test because your kitty’s mouth is a gateway to their overall health – and we want to help protect every part of it.

    Breeds Breakdown

    Uncover your cat's breed story

    Your cat is one of a kind and now you can understand why. As a cat breed similarity test, Basepaws compares your cat's DNA to a reference panel of pedigreed breeds, revealing which breeds they're most genetically similar to. What starts as curiosity becomes a thread that connects to their health, traits, and what makes them, them.
