Saliva collection is minimally invasive, safe, and can be done quickly and in a variety of settings.

Simple protocol:
You collect a saliva sample from your cat's mouth with a swab and send the vials containing the saliva samples to the lab.
As easy as 1-2-3 
Step 1- You put saliva stimulant on the swab.
Step 2- You collect the saliva in the cat's mouth.
Step 3- You squeeze the swab to make the drops fall into the specific vial (bottle) to send to the laboratory.

Frequently Asked Questions:

I have a question, who should I contact?
​It is necessary to contact us by email. We normally respond within 24 hours. There is no need to contact the laboratory directly; they do not offer saliva stimulant, and you will not be able to obtain accurate results without it. Several answers are already provided in the text below. You must specifically send us your information requests by clicking here.
Where is the lab ?
​Please note that the lab is located
​in USA on Harris Street

a male or a female?
​Yes, the price of saliva tests is the same whether it's a male or a female. The price is the same whether it's a kitten or an adult.
Which kit should I order ? ​
​You should order the kit that suits your needs. Most breeders will use the Collection kit 3 Tests. For better categorization, you might decide to use the Collection kit 4 Tests. 
I have a litter of 4 kittens and I want to test them for Fel d1 allergens. How do I do this?
To test your 4 kittens for Fel d1 allergens, you will need to order 4 different Collection kits. Every kitten needs his own Collection kit. The majority of the breeders prefer to work with the Collection kit 3-tests . This kit costs $429 per kitten. This means that each kitten will be tested 3 times. The procedure will be sent to you with your test kit. You will also receive a short video demonstrating how to collect saliva samples with the swab and a phone number to call if you have any questions. This is a simple process.
I have 5 kittens in my litter and I want to order the Collection Kit 3 Tests ? How much is it ?
​The price is $100. to prepare and mail the kits + $429. for 3 tests for each kitten  ( 5 kittens at $429.= $2,145.)  
​The total is $2,245.
I've completed my tests, and they're ready to send to the lab. What's the process?
​Sending your samples to the lab is very simple. You just follow the procedure that was sent to you with your Collection Kit. This involves placing the samples securely in a small, rigid box and sending it via courier within 24 to 48 hours. Please note that the courier fees to the lab are not included.
Can I get a refund if I change my mind ?
​Yes, 90% of the price of the Collection Kit tests can be refunded if you change your mind before sending the samples to the lab. The preparation and mailing fees are non-refundable.
I would like to start breeding purebred cats with low levels of the Fel d1 allergen. How do I do this?
​Purebred cats with low allergen levels are not common. If you haven't started yet and would like to begin breeding, we can assign you a mentor who can educate you, train you, support you in your endeavors, and provide you with the cats you need for your breeding program. These cats have been specifically selected for their low levels of the Fel d1 allergen. Support is essential for beginners. Contact us to tell us about your plans and ambitions.

I already have a cattery and I'd like to test my adult breeding cats.  ​Is that possible?
​Yes, it's possible to test adult cats or kittens.
​The price is the same whether the cat is an adult or a kitten. Let's say you have 6 females and one male in your cattery to test. So you have 7 adult cats. You choose to buy the Collection Kit 3 tests; the cost is $429. per cat, so $429. x 7 = $ 3,003 + $100. for preparation and mailing fees. The total is $ 3, 1003.
----------
Suppose you wanted to buy the Collection Kit 4 tests instead; the price would be higher because each cat would be tested four times rather than three. The cost to test 7 cats with the Collection Kit 4 tests is $559. per cat, so $559. x 7 = $ 3,913 + $100. for preparation and mailing fees. The total is $ 4,013.
