Royal Health Proclamation

🐆 Bengal Cats

Our Bengal breeding cats are tested using the Wisdom Panel genetic test, which screens for 50+ genetic traits and inherited conditions. This includes testing for:

• PK-def (Pyruvate Kinase Deficiency)
• PK-d (Polycystic Kidney Disease)
• PRA-b (Progressive Retinal Atrophy – Bengal type)
• HCM (Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy)

These tests help us identify potential genetic risks and ensure only healthy, compatible cats are used in our breeding program.

🦁 Maine Coon Cats

Our Maine Coons also undergo Wisdom Panel genetic testing, along with additional breed-specific health checks, including:

• HCM (Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy)
• FHD (Feline Hip Dysplasia - to assess joint health and mobility)

HCM and hip dysplasia are particularly important considerations in large breeds such as the Maine Coon, and regular testing allows us to make informed and responsible breeding decisions.

⚕️ Why Health Testing Matters

A responsible breeder carries out genetic and health testing to:

• Reduce the risk of inherited diseases
• Protect the long-term health of both parents and kittens
• Ensure kittens have the best possible start in life
• Provide transparency and reassurance to future owners
• Support ethical, sustainable breeding practices
