A hypoallergenic cat is a cat which has been bred to not provoke an allergic reaction in humans, enabling humans with cat allergy to own and handle it.
There are claims, but no scientific evidence, that the Siberian breed is hypoallergenic. Similarly, cat breeds such as the Sphinx, Devon Rex and Cornish Rex, which lack some or all of the normal layers in cats’ fur, are believed by mild allergy sufferers to be significantly less likely to provoke an allergic reaction than other breeds.
The company Allerca has announced that they have bred a hypoallergenic cat, which are priced at $3,950. [1] Felix Pets also claims to be developing hypoallergenic cats.
