Monique asks people she respects about genetic and health issues associated with the lines she is working with. She is as conservative as possible to reduce chance of genetic problems. Monique has been known to cancel planned breedings when she becomes aware that there might be concerns about cats in the pedigree that have suffered from illness that is believed to be genetically based. She is fortunate not to have had any health problems that are thought to have a genetic component other than gingivitis. After this was discovered she spayed the female and one of her daughters who also had it. Imzadi Cattery is and always has been free of Feline Leukemia and FIP.
