These single-celled organisms can be very persistent in a breeding and cause diarrhoea in kittens. In our cattery we make regular collective tests and deworm according to strict schedule with Panacur paste and Flagyl, so that our cattery is free of Giardia, Coccidiosis and Tritrichomonas.

The most common parasites are removed with the recommended regular deworming. We want to be sure there is nothing wrong and start to deworm the young kittens at the age of 2 weeks with  Panacur paste and continue every two weeks till the kittens leave in their new home. Later it is recommended for the new owner to deworm his cat four times a year, even if the cat lives in an apartment

Pyruvate kinase deficiency (PK deficiency)

We have tested all our breeding cats on PK-deficiency and the result is N/N, which means they have no gene of the disease, thus all of them are  suited for further breeding.

 

We have had blood tests taken of all our breeding cats and they are tested negative, which means they don't carry this disease in their genes.
