ABOUT OUR KITTENS

Our breeding cats are evaluated for the following most common listed below and all other identified genetic disorders(50 at present) and all are negative:

·        PK Deficiency (Pyruvate Kinase Deficiency)

·        PKD (Polycystic Kidney Disease)

·        HCM DNA (Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy)

·        SMA (Spinal Muscular Atrophy)

·        FIV/FeLV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus/Feline Leukemia Virus)

·        HCM Echo (Annual sonogram scan of the heart)

·        Hip X-rays to detect hip dysplasia.

We have our own cardiologist. This is important as all heart scans are reviewed for any changes. All annual scan results are located on my males/females page of my website: www.highlandermainecoon.com. All these preventative tests we do is not to say our cats cannot develop disease; we take every measure to ensure we have the healthiest cats possible.

 

NOTE:Please beware of breeders that DNA Test “only.”  This DNA test is only one identified HCM gene and echocardiogram is the only way to detect heart disease.

Our kittens are ready to leave at 12 weeks of age. Each kitten comes with:

·        Two vaccinations (8 and 12 weeks) Merial Purevax

·        30-day trial insurance plan with Trupanion

·        2-year genetic health guarantee

·        Worming

NOTE:We do not ship pet kittens; we can recommend a reliable airport to airport in cabin service.
