Basepaws Dna Test For Cats?

Don't hold your breath...I got that same acknowledgement email in August 2017 and still nothing. But, to be fair to them, I was one of the free kit recipients (I have an asthma cat and that's one of the conditions they're studying), so perhaps those are lower priority than paid kits. I emailed them to follow up and they said they're catching up, being that it's a pretty new process and that they've got a ton of them to process, which seems reasonable.
I was reading their blog i think they had some difficulties i think the initial report is out but they said their back log is months. I am doing these on all my cats but im not holding my breath til june lol. FAQ - Cat DNA Test Kit | Basepaws

Oh cool! Will head there now! I had mentioned the lack of an account login when I emailed inquiring about the status of the kit and they didn't say anything. Thanks!

I was signing up for this when I realized I should do a little more research and found this discussion on The Cat Site, so I immediately signed up. I think rather than order the kit now and clog their system more, I'll wait and learn from your results. Although one of my girls is 15 so I may go ahead and light the candle and order the kit because you know...tick tock.
Any results yet???
Not yet! I just logged in and it still says my kit is "awaiting processing". I sent it in 6 months ago. 
What the heck?.. the results better come back as a book, for taking that long!Not yet! I just logged in and it still says my kit is "awaiting processing". I sent it in 6 months ago.
I sure hope the people who actually paid for theirs aren't having to wait this long!

I paid for mine. I can’t remember exactly when I sent it in but it was December or possibly beginning of January. Some time later I’m guessing about 4-6 weeks they said they got it and it was in process or some lingo. Either way I have heard nothing back and quite frankly getting a bit irritated now that I have found this forum. Seems I can’t find anyone who can attest to actually receiving results. Have I been scammed...originally it said 6-8 weeks for results. I know it doesn’t take very long to mail a little package within the US. Off to do more research now. I’ll be back...

Hopefully BasePaws just has a backlog of orders, and it’s just taking them longer than expected. Please do post back if you get results!

Results are finally in for mine. She's a generic DSH, showing no likelihood for any of the 27 breeds they have listed. Her wildcat ancestry also showed low percentages, so there is no hybridization.
I was a little excited at first because they had Egyptian Mau at the top, so I thought that meant she was close to that breed -- but when I looked at the actual bars for that breed and all the others, they were right in the middle, which indicates DSH.
