Is your cat a Western Maine Coon? An Eastern Burmese? Or a perfectly adorable "polycat"? Using our world-class database of feline genetics, Basepaws can estimate your tabby’s origins to more than 21 top breed types and four breed regions. Your cat’s DNA will be able to say so many of the things they can’t. Using the latest science we can show if your cat has any health risks in their genes. We have manually curated health markers for every sample we have sequenced and can recognize 38 markers representing 16 genetic diseases including: Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD), Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), Retinal degeneration, Myotonia and more. When you join Basepaws, you are joining a community that is constantly evolving. Our database grows larger on a daily basis, so when we have updates for your cat’s report, we send you updates. ## Features - EASY TO USE, IMPACTFUL RESULTS: Collect a sample, package it up, and send it securely back.

We are very sorry for your loss :( **Q: I don't understand the wildcat portion. housecats are descendants of an african wildcat, occasionally crossed with other small cats. where do come in?** A: While we know that our domestic housecats aren't directly descended from some of the classic wildcats like tigers and cheetahs, this is a fun comparison that is similar to when we put our human handprints compared to those of all other primates. In our database, some cats are indeed closer in various phenotypes to some wildcats than others! **Q: What machine are you using for sequencing and what polymerase are you using?** A: Basepaws uses Illumina sequencing and ligation-based library prep for breed comparison and amplitaq gold for health marker identification. ## Frequently Bought Together - Basepaws Cat DNA Test Kit - Comprehensive Breed, Health and Dental Analysis Across 114 Traits for Accurate and Easy-to-Use Genetic Insights - Wisdom Panel Complete: Comprehensive Cat DNA Test kit for 45 Health Genetic Health Conditions, 70+ Breeds and populations, 25+ Traits, Blood Type - 1 Pack - AncestryDNA + Traits Genetic Test Kit: Personalized Genetic Traits, DNA Ethnicity Test, Origins & Ethnicities, Complete DNA Test, Ancestry Reports --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/199633629-basepaws-cat-dna-test-breed-health-dental-report-top-cat](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/199633629-basepaws-cat-dna-test-breed-health-dental-report-top-cat) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-10-17*
