Look what we got ❤️💙. Definitely 💯 boy. This is what they refer to as a Phoenix color. It's beautiful watching this color progress.
No worries 🥰 we will do a full chromosome study, and DNA on him.
Right now His name will be SoulShine Fire Starter. 🔥
He is the 1st I'm aware of that was made in the US.
Parents are Gabe (silver classic) X BB (blue tortie with white).
I'm hoping to work with a loved friend, and a extremely beautiful person to develop this color. As soon as I know the details, I'll announce it 🥰.

Because I haven't posted in a bit. This is super sweet Mynx. I adored her every moment until she went to her forever home. Riding around in my hoodie for hours, and never leaving my side.
She was a hard one to give up.

It has came to my attention that scammers have been messaging some of you.
This is a whole new level of scamming 😪.
I have a phone number, and email listed at the top of my page, and website PLEASE use them! I prefer to talk to you on the phone anyways and even if you email I will ask you to call.
Please be aware and do your homework. Please ❤️

Let's talk ProBNP Vs. Echocardiograms

I see a lot of breeders using proBNP test vs. Echocardiograms.

What does a proBNP tell you?
A BNP test or NT-proBNP test detects HEART FAILURE by measuring the amount of BNP or its prohormone NT-proBNP in the bloodstream, respectively. High levels of BNP or NT-proBNP are a sign that the heart has to work too hard to pump blood.
The universal definition of heart failure states that NT-proBNP (N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide) ≥125 pg/mL is corroborating evidence of heart failure.
It only measures positives, not negatives. By the time you get a positive, your cat is already in heart failure.

Echocardiograms marked regional or global LV wall thickening, severely enlarged papillary muscles, SAM, end-systolic cavity obliteration and moderate to severe LA enlargement are hallmark findings of HCM.
Having severe papillary muscle hypertrophy, a markedly thickened LV wall (7 to 10 mm), and often, but certainly not always, an enlarged left atrium. The hypertrophy can be global, affecting all areas of the LV wall or can be more regional. Because it can be regional, HCM is a diagnosis that should be made by examining several different two-dimensional echocardiographic views and measuring wall thickness in diastole from the thickest region or regions. M-mode echocardiography may miss regional thickening unless it is guided by the two-dimensional view, and so should never be used without two-dimensional guidance. This gives you the big picture.
Using echocardiography for HCM screening is the gold standard!
You will often hear me refer to this as fractions. You're goal as a breeder should to have a cat with no change in fractions (measurements).
SoulShine will NOT be using proBNP but vow to stay on top of yearly echogram testing! This ensuring that we bless you with a genetically sound kitten. We love healthy hearts 💕!
