While there are no cats that are considered 100% hypoallergenic, there are breeds which are known to produce fewer allergens. If you are thinking of bringing home a kitty, make sure to do your homework so you will know if the cat is a perfect fit for your household.

Balinese

Although they are long-haired cats, the Balinese is one of the few cat breeds that produce less of the Fel D1 protein identified to trigger allergic reactions in hypersensitive individuals.

Javanese

The breed’s medium-length single-layer hair coat is not prone to matting. Since it has no undercoat, they have less fur, which means fewer allergens.

Siberian

Siberian cats have lower than average levels of the Fel D1 in their saliva.

Sphynx

Being hairless, Sphynx cats are most often thought of as being hypoallergenic. However, they will need frequent baths to remove oils that build up on their skin.
