NEW
Genetic Health Markers & Blood Type Screening.
The upgraded digital report will provide results for over 115 known feline genetic health markers, including new markers for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), the most common form of heart disease in cats. Another new feature includes genetic markers for blood type. Knowledge of a cat’s blood type can be helpful to the cat breeding process as well as support life-saving medical decisions, such as when a cat needs an emergency blood transfusion.

      PROACTIVE PET CARE
      Dental disease. It's a reality for most cats.
      Your cat can’t raise their paw and tell you their mouth hurts. Because of this ability to hide pain, usually when they exhibit the common signs, the disease is advanced and needs medical attention. This makes oral microbiome testing so critical, especially for cats!

        Frequently Asked Questions

        Once you received a DNA CatKit in the mail, follow the detailed instructions for sample collection and barcode registration located on the inside of the CatKit box. After collecting your sample, send it back to us in the provided prepaid packaging. We will notify you via email once your sample is received.

        Your report will be available in 4-6 weeks from the date your sample arrives at our laboratory. We are working on trying to shorten this time frame as much as possible. In the rare cases where a sample fails internal quality checks and needs to be reprocessed, we will contact you regarding the next steps.

        Long-term, we plan to provide the results within 4 weeks.

        Every sample helps us create the biggest database of feline genetic data and will contribute to new discoveries in feline health.

        Breed is among our top priorities. We test by comparing your cat’s genetic DNA sample to our pedigreed cat database, as well as to all the other cat samples which we’ve received. Not all breeds are included (yet!), but we are working hard to quickly add as many as possible. As we expand our kitty community, your cat's report findings will continue to be refined. Take a look at our sample report to get an idea of what your cat’s report will look like, as well as our roadmap to see what your cat’s report will include in the future!
