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 40+ markers representing 16 genetic diseases including: Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD), Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), Retinal degeneration, and more. You’ll find out if your cat is a Tiger, Cheetah, or maybe even a Lion when we compare your cat’s DNA with the 37 common cat species. It may explain your kitten’s roar-like meow. 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: Confident, satisfied, and relieved - On February 10 we had to let one of our cats peacefully move on due to a saddle thrombus. She had hypertrophic cardiomyopathy which apparently is almost impossible to detect until the saddle thrombus forms. And once there's a saddle thrombus, there's almost no chance of survival. Hypertropic cardiomyopathy is caused by a genetic defect that Basepaws checks for. Completely broken hearted, my husband and I never wanted to go through the experience of losing a cat due to an undetected disease again. This is where Basepaws comes in. We ordered 2 Basepaw kits and 2 Wisdom Panel kits. We have received the results of one of the Wisdom Panel kits (still waiting on the second), and we received the results of both Basepaw kits today. I am confident the results are reliable for a few reasons. The first is that the results of the Basepaws test was the same as the results from the one Wisdom Panel test we've received. The second reason why I think Basepaws is reliable is because my cats went to their regular vet for their annual exam and we discovered one of them really needs a teeth cleaning, and then other one has good teeth. Their Basepaws results reflected this as well. I didn't care so much about the ancestry part. While both of my cats are siamese cats, the only indication of that was their results said their coat is likely a siamese pattern. The rest of the ancestry was very non-specific. I'm not sure this is the right product if you're looking to learn about your cat's breed. I 100% recommend if you want to know if your kitty is at risk for health problems. I appreciate Basepaws for giving me some peace of mind. Review: Two different experiences - I ordered a 2 pack of tests since I have 2 cats. I sent both tests in at the same time. According to USPS, both were delivered Monday morning. One of the cat's tests showed received on Wednesday the same week. When the second test didn't show received by Saturday, I sent an email. I received a quick response with in 24 hours, which i didn't expect due to it being the weekend, and was advised to give it another week. The following Saturday it still wasn't showing received so I sent a follow up email. This time there wasn't a response until later in Monday, conveniently after the test suddenly showed received. The next couple steps moved at a similar pace for both tests, just a week apart, until the final step, getting results. For the first test, I got an email the cats DNA was being sequences and then the next day, the results were available. For the second cat, I received the email about the DNA being sequenced 2 weeks ago and am still waiting for the results. I haven't emailed for follow up because it's still in the windrow for when they said to expect results but it's been extremely frustrating to have 2 such vastly different experiences. The first results were interesting (the cat only had markers for bad breath but everything else was normal), but I'm not sure if recommend this based on not being able to provide consistent service. ## Features - Easy-to-use at-home kit via saliva swab sample. Personalized results based on your cat's DNA ready in 6-9 weeks. - The world's first at-home feline genetic test to help you learn more about your cat's breed and wildcat breakdowns. Health and traits reports coming soon! Please note -- this is NOT a breed identifier (we can not confirm your cats pedigree) but we CAN tell you what breeds make up your cat and look for genomic similarities to existing breeds. - Cats breed groups are broken down into 4 categories: Western breeds (from Europe/Americas), Eastern Breeds (from Asia), Hybrid breeds (from Wild Cat crosses), and Polycat (of yet unknown origin), and expanded into individual breeds. The report now also contains a chromosome painting (also known as chromosome mapping), so you can see which specific sections of your cat's chromosomes match with the different breeds and categories! - Accurate, reliable reports developed + designed through a rigorous process by world-class scientists and veterinary experts. Although Basepaws is NOT a breed test, we use the most accurate breed identification scientifically possible to come to a Breed Index, showing which breeds make up your cat. Most other genetic tests only screen for "what is already known." Unfortunately, very little is currently known about cat genetics. We report on all currently available data + work on new discoveries! - Celebrate the Mutt - Mixed breeds cats, or polycats, are a lot more unique than we think! There is a big world beyond just Domestic Short Hair.

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 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Confident, satisfied, and relieved *by F***4 on 30 March 2023* On February 10 we had to let one of our cats peacefully move on due to a saddle thrombus.

Their PW reset functionality on their site was not working and they did not return multiple emails and phone calls over the course of a week. However, they have since reached out to me and are working to resolve their issues. I am still dinging 1 star off an otherwise perfect review due to their initial lack of response. The product itself was easy to use. One cat didn't mind, another cat protested a little bit. The communication of receipt, processing, and results were timely. The DNA reports themselves were rather interesting. Our smallest cat (9 years old, runt of his litter) we thought for years to be close to a Norwegian Forest Cat but didn't rule out some Maine Coon or Siberian. Well his DNA report said his mix is closest to that of a Siberian. Interestingly NFC was a lot farther down the list. Health markers, where available, are interesting as well. It's all grain-of-salt stuff that is interesting but of course doesn't rule out any actual health problems that may occur in the future. All in all this was a bit of an impulse / curiosity purchase and I'm not disappointed that I grabbed it. We've had our DNA results for a while, it's nice to have our furry kids done too. ## 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.com.kw/products/199633629-basepaws-cat-dna-test-kit-2-pack-comprehensive-breed-health](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/199633629-basepaws-cat-dna-test-kit-2-pack-comprehensive-breed-health) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-08-18*
