We have all our breeders tested for:
- Bengal Progressive Retinal Atrophy, (PRA-b), which is a disease that causes blindness.
- Erythrocyte Pyruvate Kinase Deficiency, (PK Deficiency), which is an inherited anemia that causes: severe lethargy, weakness, weight loss, jaundice, and abdominal enlargement.
- Feline Immunodeficiency Virus, (Fiv), virus that targets their immune system, comprising it, making it more susceptible to other illnesses.
- Feline Leukemia Virus, (Felv), causes anemia and weakens immune system for deadly illnesses.
- Hypertropic Cardiomyopathy, (HCM), a disease that causes the heart muscles to thicken.
HCM can develop any time. We test breeders every 12-18 months. There is no guarantee however.
Each breeder has their results for PK-Def & PRA-b posted as well as latest HCM screening - N/N = normal
