If you love cats as much as I do, but someone in your home is allergic to them, don’t give up hope. There is no such thing as a completely hypoallergenic cat.
These lovable animals produce the Fel D1 protein through their saliva, which causes allergies.
However, some breeds produce a fairly low amount of this protein, making them the perfect hypoallergenic lap cats.
With a thick, luxurious coat, Siberian cat’s colors range from brown and black to glistening silver. They’re also affectionate hypoallergenic cats with a personality perfect for any home.
With their low-maintenance lifestyle, these calm hypoallergenic cats are perfect for small households or couples looking for another family member.
The Sphynx cat breed is not actually hairless; it’s covered in a light downy layer of hair that feels like suede or peach fuzz. That said, it’s one of those hypoallergenic cats that don’t shed and like to cuddle.
Some Cornish Rex cats have no fur at all. As they shed little to nothing, they put out less of the Fel D1 protein, which makes them one of the best cats for allergies.
They make the ideal companions, welcome family, and friends’ attention, and are great with kids and other pets.
