We test our cats through CatScan. We tests for 120+ traits and health genetics which our cats are all negative for.
Our cats are also tested through our vet for Feline Leukemia (FeLV), Feline AIDS (FIV) and are negative.
All Maine Coons in our breeding program are DNA tested for Congenital HCM, PKD, and SMA.
Congenital HCM is a congenital heart defect found in 3 out of every 10 Maine Coons. The genetic testing will reveal if they carry the gene for it and if they will develop it later or pass it down to kittens. Congenital HCM will show up between 1 and 4 years old, and it is not curable. Both parents need to be tested to ensure that the kitten does not have the Congenital HCM gene.
