11. UC Davis....

The TinyKittens organization gets DNA tests of the feral cat colonies that they take care of with the help of UC Davis which is a research university. (I think they do it pro bono for Tinykittens organization.)

UC Davis was or is doing a study on feline kidney disease.
Many of the feral cats in the colonies get this.

It's kinda interesting. She often finds out certain cats are related by doing the DNA.
