Testing Policy
At our cattery, the health and well-being of our cats and kittens are our top priorities. Here’s how we ensure their optimal health:
- Genetic Testing for Breeding Cats: At NeoGen Labs, we conduct genetic testing on all breeding cats to screen for more than 120 genetic disorders. This includes common conditions such as Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM), Pyruvate Kinase Deficiency (PKDEF), Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), and Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD). Ensure the health and quality of your breeding program with comprehensive genetic testing.
- Regular Health Assessments:
- Echocardiograms are performed by a certified cardiologist yearly or every two years, based on the specialist's discretion.
- Hip dysplasia X-rays and renal ultrasounds are performed at the correct ages to ensure precision and minimize the risk of inaccurate readings.
- We frequently conduct fecal PCR tests and FIV/FELV screenings for pets, and we're happy to report that all results returned negative! Regular testing is crucial for your pet's health, ensuring early detection and peace of mind.
- Upper Respiratory PCRs are conducted as needed if any signs of illness are detected.
- Random Panels: Conducted at various times to ensure the ongoing health of our cats and kittens.
