Do you know why cats cause allergy in most people? Well, there are two culprits to blame \u2013 dander and Fel d1 and d4 protein in the cats\u2019 skin and saliva. These two allergens are present in almost all cats and thus every cat causes allergy as a matter of fact. However, the production of Fel d1 protein and dander in some cat breeds is less than other breeds that make them hypoallergenic i.e. less likely to cause allergy. So, just in case you like to buy a cat but are allergic to them, try considering these 6 breeds.<\/span><\/p>\n

7 Cat Breeds That Are Hypoallergenic<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Sphynx<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

\"Sphynx<\/p>\n

This has to be the first choice to consider if you like kitties with a distinctive look but are more likely to get an allergic reaction. Since these cats are hairless, there are no chances of allergenic proteins Fel d1 and d4 to get trapped in the fur, thus making Sphynx an ideal choice to adopt. Their unique look also comes with unique requirements; they need a little extra care than other cats so make sure you consider this aspect before adopting one.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Devon Rex<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

\"Devon<\/p>\n

Devon Rex is another cat breed that has very minimal fur. They just possess a light layer of down hair and also shed very less which makes them highly unlikely to cause an allergic reaction in people.<\/span><\/p>\n

Balinese<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

\"Balinese<\/p>\n

This tabby cat may seem a little allergic to you but you must not go with their appearance. Their skin produces a lot less Fel d1 protein than other usual cats do thus it has earned the third spot in our list of hypoallergenic cats.<\/span><\/p>\n

Siberian Cat<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

\"Siberian<\/p>\n

Now you must be wondering something has gotten into our head which makes us consider Siberian Cat hypoallergenic even though it has one of the finest coats amongst all cats. Well, if you go by the facts, though Siberian cats have a thick, beautiful coat, their skin produces a very minimal amount of Fel d1 protein which puts them in the list of hypoallergenic kitties.<\/span><\/p>\n

Russian Blue<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

\"Russian<\/p>\n

This quick learner is not just smart but also hypoallergenic because they produce very little Fel d1 protein than most of their counterparts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Oriental Shorthair<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

\"Oriental<\/p>\n

Oriental Shorthair cats are blessed with a short coat that is shiny and shed minimalistic. Their exotic looks make them very attractive and thus are a great option to consider.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bengal Kitty<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

\"Bengal<\/p>\n

One of the most beautiful looking cats can give you a run for your money. However, they are worth the price because they are not just strikingly beautiful and royal looking but are hypoallergenic too. Their coat sheds very minimal fur and the skin produces very little amount of Fel d1 protein. So if you are ready to spend bucks and own a good-looking cat, Bengal Kitty certainly has to be your first choice.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
