Health and Genetic Testing
​
We take the health of our cats extremely seriously.
All breeding cats come from parents who have been health-tested with clear results. Our cats are tested through Laboklin’s Maine Coon bundle, which screens for common breed-specific genetic conditions
​
HCM (Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy) – a heart condition that can lead to heart failure.
PKD (Pyruvate Kinase Deficiency) – an enzyme deficiency causing anaemia.
SMA (Spinal Muscular Atrophy) – affects muscle strength and coordination.
​
FXI Deficiency (Factor XI Deficiency) – a rare blood clotting disorder.
Blood Typing (A, B, AB) – to prevent Neonatal Isoerythrolysis in kittens.
​
We also ensure our kittens receive two full veterinary health checks, complete vaccinations, and are at least 13 weeks old before joining their new families.
