That’s right. Intrexon (NYSE: XON) acquired a company last year called ViaGen LC that recently announced it successfully delivered two litters of healthy cloned kittens for the first time. The Texas-based company specializes in cloning animals for genetic preservation in the livestock and equine industries.
Intrexon convinced ViaGen to pursue the companion animal market, said ViaGen CEO Blake Russell. ViaGen will officially launch that consumer service in January.
“I think the market is quite large,” Russell said.

The animal shelters are full of kittens and cats that need to be adopted. This is crazy in my opinion.
Germantown...Mengele-town no difference
I'm sure my cat can do a much better job of "cloning" kittens.. Cheaper, too...
Why bother to clone them when left to their own devices, they manage to procreate quite well?
