there ain't no free rides...
the good news:
* the test is about 95% reliable, which is far better than with earlier dna tests.
the bad news:
* the cost to ship the samples overnight and on ice can run $50-75, which makes it pretty steep for most rescues/shelters, unless they are doing a bunch of tests at once and sending them together.
for owners of a beloved cat just diagnosed, tho, it's a far better alternative than unnecessary euthanasia.
