Blood group A
*HCM testing:
At the time of the ultrasound scanning, the breeding cat is HCM free. Scanning negative for HCM does not guarantee the cat will never develop HCM in its lifetime, or that its kittens will not develop the disease. Further testing, every other year, will be performed in order to ensure the lines we breed remain healthy. Currently ultrasound remains the only way to determine if HCM is present in Birman cats.
