Question

A good breed of cat for people with allergies

Answer 1

take any old cat and shave all it's fer off.

Answer 2

Google the Siberian breed, they produce less feline d-1 protein, which is what people are actually allergic to. It is found in the cat's saliva, and deposited on their fur when they clean themselves. Siberians are naturally low producers, a spayed female has the lowest levels. The colorpoint ones look similar to a Ragdoll, they come in the solid and pointed varieties. I am attaching a link to Lynda Nelson's cattery, Kravchenko Siberians. You can visit her web site and learn more about the breed. I know her, have visited her cattery personally and have owned one of her cats. They are wonderful. This woman was one of the leading forces in bringing the Siberian cat to the United States and working towards having them become a recognized, regisitered breed here. Hope this helps.

P.S. Just a note, while the Sphynx is hairless, it still produces an average amount of feline d-1 protein, and thus is not a less allergenic cat.

Answer 3

Well, there is that one cat (i cant remember the name!) that is completely bald. They look weird, and they feel weird (in a good way!), but if it doesn't have any hair, how can you sneeze off of it? Right?

Other than that, maybe some really short hair cats.

Answer 5

Answer 6

There are no NONallergenic cat breeds, but there are some HYPOallergenic cat breeds. These are the LaPerm, the Sphynx, the Devon Rex and the Cornish Rex.

Answer 7

any cat has the potential for causing health issues if the allergy is bad enough. however, the rexes are the best breed for those with allergies. (devon rex, selkirk rex, cornish rex) they have wiry or curly hair and release less dander than most other breeds. remember, it's generally the dander people are allergic to, not the hair itself.

the person above is thinking of the sphynx, which isn't actually hairless, but has a fine downy fur all over. (think of mr. bigglesworth from the austin powers movies.) they may cause less reactions in those with allergies, but sometimes cause MORE problems since the owner has more direct contact with the dander what the the peach-fuzz fur being so sparse. this is a pretty high-maintenance cat & many people don't know enough about them to be good owners.
