Discover your cat's whole story and help a shelter cat

We're celebrating Adopt a Shelter Cat Month by supporting cats in need—and you can help. When you buy a Wisdom Panel™ pet DNA test this June, we'll donate $1 from each sale to support our shelter partner's life-saving work. That means a deeper understanding of your cat for you, and hope for a shelter cat in need.

Meet some Mightycats

You already know kittens are adorable. But are you aware how tough and resilient they are? With support from Orphan Kitten Club, these kittens are overcoming a difficult start and headed for a hopeful future. To aid the effort, Wisdom Panel did DNA testing so their future families will have the information they need to help these cats thrive.

Kitten named Artemis

Meet Artemis

When Artemis was found on the side of the road, she was a little kitten with some big health issues. Thanks to a Mightycat grant, she was able to get the specialty care she needed to overcome a condition that left her with appetite loss, lethargy, nausea — and dark orange teeth! Today, not only is she a healthy cat, she has the perfect home after her foster made her a permanent member of the family

A grey kitten named Cinnabear

Meet Cinnabear

Cinnabear was born with a severely concave chest that compressed her lungs, displaced her heart, and left her unable to get enough oxygen. A medical grant from Orphan Kitten Club enabled this one pound kitty to get the urgent surgery she needed to expand her rib cage. Next up on Cinnabear’s to-do list—growing strong enough to find and adoptive home, where she is expected to live the healthy life she deserves.
