Directions to take cheek swab sample:

Ideally a cheek swab sample should NOT be taken right after the cat has eaten!

1. Use a clean dry Q-tip. Cut off one end. Do not touch the collection tip of the swab with your fingers.
2. Insert the Q-tip between the cat’s cheek and gum and roll it for a couple of seconds.
3. ALLOW Q-TIP TO AIR DRY! (otherwise it molds!)
4. Place dried Q-tip in a clean envelope (one Q-tip/envelope).
5. Write the name of the cat on the envelope and it’s CFA/TICA number.
6. Fill out the sample collection sheet (sample sheet is an attachment to this e-mail). On the sample sheet provided, record number of each sample with information about the cat from which the sample was taken (breed, age, sex, any health problems).
7. Wash hands between samplings if you take samples from more than one cat.

Both you and your cat’s identity will be kept anonymous for any of our research!
