$50

(ONLINE PRICE)

ADD TO CART

Test Overview:

Test breeding cats for C locus genotypes to predict and control coat color outcomes. Consider the combination of alleles to preserve or produce desired coat patterns such as Siamese (c^s), Burmese (c^b), or Tonkinese/mink (c^b/c^s). Avoid breeding cats homozygous for the full albinism allele (c/c) as these cats may be more susceptible to health issues related to lack of pigmentation such as sensitivity to sunlight and eye problems. Maintain breed health by balancing aesthetic goals with welfare considerations, particularly regarding vision and skin sensitivity. Share genetic information to make informed mating choices and sustain genetic diversity.
