The Feline Centre has supported breeders for many years and we are proud to offer a number of services especially for cat breeders.

Genetic Tests

We are an internationally recognised laboratory for PCR testing for genetic disease and blood typing in cats.

HCM Screening Scheme

International Cat Care together with the Veterinary Cardiovascular Society (VCS) set up a scheme to detect the presence or absence of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) in breeds susceptible to this condition.

Breeder Information

We run courses and circulate newsletters to keep breeders up to date with current news on genetic diseases in cats, and how to avoid them. Register for updates here.
