They should be tested at about a year of age or if you've adopted from a shelter we need to test them in there.

How is my cat tested for heartworm disease? - Loch Haven Veterinary Hospital

We draw a couple of drops of blood and that's all it takes. It takes about 10 to 15 minutes or we send it out to the lab.
