PERPETUATE BUSINESS

PERPETUATE, the world's first and foremost pet genetic preservation company, was founded in 1998. This followed Dolly the sheep being cloned in 1996 and initiation of livestock genetic preservation and cloning in 1997.

PERPETUATE has since cultured and cryopreserved viable cells from exceptional cats, dogs, horses and other animals from more than 30 countries. Cloned dogs were first produced from cultured PERPETUATE cells in South Korea in 2009.  Since then more than seventy cloned puppies have been produced South Korea and the USA.  In 2016, the first commercially cloned kittens were produced from PERPETUATE DNA.
