When you want to test your cat for HCM you contact one of the veterinaries stated on the list decided by the club board. The listed veterinaries are very experienced in this particular field of heart scanning. This group of experts cooperates with the Swedish Maine Coon Cat Club and the goal is to receive the same result no matter which of the listed veterinaries you choose to make an appointment with.

You have to bring a special form for the HCM test when you go to the veterinary.

Please fill in all details about your cat and don't forget to sign the form. You must take the form and your cat's pedigree certificate along to the HCM examination. The cat has to have an identification in the form of either a microchip or a tattoo in order to be entered in the register of the health programme. If the cat doesn't have an identification number yet you can have that done at the same time. The veterinary fills in the test results and sends a copy of the form to the registry keeper for the health programme.

60 days after the HCM examination was performed the results will be available to the public.
