Easy to use at home, results arrive in 4-6 weeks with ongoing updates as the database grows. ## Description The Basepaws Cat DNA Test helps cat owners learn about their cat's breed, health, traits, and habits - all with just a bit of DNA, collected at home. 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. Review: This was easy enough to use if your pet is okay with you putting things in their mouth and not chewing on them, which fortunately mine was. The pdf I got back seems to be an exhaustive amount of data, though I did question one quirky result: It said the most recent thing my cat had eaten was dog, and we don't have one of those and don't often visit with people who have one (though I do love to see a pup, we just dont happen to know a lot of people who have dogs) and my kitty was an indoor kitty so there was little chance of her sneaking out and eating the neighbor's dog. I reached out to to Basepaw to ask about the result, mostly out of amusement, and was pleasantly surprised that not only did they answer back pretty quickly, but gave me some more information on what the result could mean, basically trouble shooting it with me. In the end, the dog thing still remains a mystery, but the other information of what her make up was, health concerns and more was very interesting to note and I was able to share the file with her vet so they could see the list of concerns she might be more predisposed to. Over all I was very happy with the product. Cons: Price-wise its not super cheap, and as to how accurate or effective testing this way is, well, I'm no scientist so impossible for me to say. It seemed to line up well with what I already knew about her, so I think at the very least I liked having it for some guidance on what might be the issue if she wasn't feeling well. I enjoyed going over it with friends and just having it, very similar in the way I think people enjoy things like 23 and me or other DNA testing kits for humans, so for me, it was worth the price, but I did wait for a Black Friday sale or similar discount. If you're getting a new pet, this might be a cool gift to ask for. If you've had your pet for years and just want a deeper dive into their specs, this again might be for you. If you do get it, sending it along to your vet might be helpful in their long term health letting them know what to look out for. Its not a fast process, you take the sample, then you send it in, and then you wait for them to receive it and then process it and get the results back to you. It takes the time it takes, but it does tell you as much on the box. It would be really cool if there was a data base to check so you find out a bit about the pet's family line if it was out there. Not information on the owners, but say how long they lived, if there were health concerns, if they had quirks like cat that really likes water, dog that figured out doors without being taught, etc, your dog's great great grand uncle was that dog that starred in Airbud or something. I'd love to see something like that as a future part of this type of product. Review: Well, I love genetics so as soon as I found out about Basepaws cat DNA tests I immediately wanted to have my 2 cats tested. I'm quite satisfied with the results. Basepaws compares your cat's DNA to the DNA in their database and then tells you which breed groups your cat has the most similar DNA to. And they rank the breeds in that group by how similar the DNA of your cat is to that breed. It's not like the dog DNA breed tests which are much more black & white because DNA breed testing for cats hasn't been around as long and cat's did not go through the same process of domestication that dogs did. Basepaws also tests for a number of diseases which can be very useful. Both my cats came back as carriers for a gene mutation that causes a hemophilia-like bleeding disorder, but they only have one copy of the gene so they don't have the disease, so that was a relief. Basepaws was really good about keeping you up to date on the progress of the DNA sample. I got numerous emails letting me know when the samples were being processed and analyzed. I does take a while after mailing in the samples for the results to be reported so it was nice to get the updates. All in all, this DNA test is definitely worth it. It seems pretty accurate and with more time and more DNA samples I expect Basepaws will continuously update their algorithms and send clients their updated DNA results. For now my cats came back as...Hazel is the torbie and she came back as a polycat (mixed breed) and Norwegian Forest Cat mix, and Ruby the orange tabby came back as a Ragdoll, polycat mix with a little Persian. Both had a small amount of Bengal. (I was told that Ruby is Hazel's mother, but not 100% sure.) I was expecting them to be Maine Coon mixes and I suspected Ruby had a tiny bit of Persian because she has such a pretty profile, so I was right about the Persian, but surprised to see the Ragdoll and NFC instead, but I can see it now that I know what to look for. NFC is so close to Maine Coon, anyway. The tests results have simply fascinated me. I recommend getting your cat tested through Basepaws. It's not just fun, it can be very helpful as far as health issues, too. And the more samples they get, the more their database will increase, thus making the tests more accurate and informative. We will actually all help each other to help our cats the more we get them tested. It's a snowball effect type thing. ## Features - EASY TO USE, IMPACTFUL RESULTS: Collect a sample, package it up, and send it securely back.

You will not need to re-purchase or re-test. **Q: I swabbed my cat just after he passed . Can I use these swabs?** A: Yes, we have worked with such samples and will try to get DNA from that swab, but timing is very important. Please send us an email ASAP to meow@basepaws.com for more instructions on how to store/send that swab to our laboratory. 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. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by T***T on 3 February 2026* This was easy enough to use if your pet is okay with you putting things in their mouth and not chewing on them, which fortunately mine was.

The swab-and-send process was straightforward—just gently rub the swab inside your cat’s cheek for 30 seconds, seal it up, and drop it in the mail. Basepaws kept me updated via email, and I received the detailed report in right around five weeks, well within their 4–6 week window. The ancestry breakdown was fascinating, identifying my cat’s primary breed group and even estimating wildcat heritage. The health section flagged one variant linked to a common condition, which prompted me to discuss preventive care with my vet—definitely a valuable heads-up. The trait insights (like coat color genetics and predicted personality tendencies) were a fun bonus, though I’d take those with a grain of salt. My only quibbles are the price—it’s a bit steep compared to human DNA kits—and the occasional delay in customer support responses. Otherwise, the online dashboard is user-friendly, and the downloadable PDF makes sharing results with my veterinarian easy. If you’re curious about your cat’s background or want a proactive look at genetic health, this kit is a great resource. ## 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.vu/products/199633629-cat-dna-test-breed-health-dental-report-top-cat-breeds](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/199633629-cat-dna-test-breed-health-dental-report-top-cat-breeds) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-06*
