Why Choose the Affinity Cat Age Test Over Others?

Unlike general DNA tests that focus on breeds or health traits, the Cat Age Test is specifically designed to estimate your cat’s age. The test measures DNA methylation at specific genomic sites; it is a biological marker that changes predictably with age. This epigenetic approach is the gold standard for chronological age estimation in cats. It works for all breeds, mixed or pure breeds, and any adult over 1 year old.
