12 Hypoallergenic Cats Breeds for People with Cat Allergies
Some cat breeds are considered to be hypoallergenic because they have lace hair that sheds lace and lace dandruff which results in a reduced number of allergens in the environment. The following are 12 hypoallergenic cat breeds:

12 Hypoallergenic Cats Breeds

• Oriental Short Hair
• Cornish Rakes
• Sphynx
• Aussie Cat
• Color Point Short Hair
• Russian Blue
• Siamese
• Bengal Cats
• Bolognese Cats
• Devon Rex Cat
• Siberian Cat
• Javanese Cat

The Oriental Short Hair has very short hair and sheds minimally. The Cornish Rakes are known for losing their undercoats as they age, resulting in bald spots that can make them look a little funny.

The Sphynx cat can have leathery skin that is neither soft nor rough to the touch, with no hair to speak of. The Aussie Cat has a spotted pattern resembling that of a wildcat, an affectionate domestic temperament, and prefers to spend time outside rather than alone on the couch.

The Cornish Rake cat has an undercut referred to as “down,” which is super soft, very fine, and almost curly, with only one of the normally three layers of hair in a cat’s coat, resulting in minimal shedding. The Color Point Short Hair is very soft and extremely curly.

The main allergen in cats is not their fur but rather a glycoprotein found mainly in the saliva of cats called Fel d1. The furrier the cat, the more hair that gets left around the house, spreading the allergen around. However, cats that don’t have fur still have Fel d1 in their saliva.

The Russian Blue cat has bright green eyes and low grooming needs. They have thick, furry coats but don’t produce as much of the allergen as other cats. The Siamese is an Asian cat breed with an elongated, strong, yet elegant body.

The Bengal Cats are the product of breeding the wild Asian leopard cat with domestic cats. The scientific name of the Asian leopard cat is Prionailurus bengalensis hence how they got their name. The LaPerm can weigh anywhere between five and ten pounds and can be found in trees outside and on the street. This cat breed is completely domesticated and enjoys spending time in water, unlike most cats.

The Bolognese Cats sport an athletic body and a soft coat that is a joy to snuggle with. They are playful, vocal, and friendly to other cats and humans. The Devon Rex Cat is born with many different coat colors, but their hair is fine and fragile, so it should never be brushed or combed, as even over petting could cause hair damage.

The Siberian Cat hails from the frigid climate of Siberia and yearns to spend the majority of their time outside. They have a really high prey drive, which makes them excellent hunters and ratters. The Javanese Cat will follow their family members around the house and meow to communicate more often than most people would like. This cat breed purrs any time they get attention and they’d never pass an opportunity to sunbathe.

The Sibian Cat is hypoallergenic, and they don’t mind spending time on their own, even though these cats can still have accidents and make messes from time to time.

We recommend the new Hyper Bioenzyme Paint Stain and Odour Eliminator spray to freshen up paint-filled homes and get rid of any unwanted smells.
