Cats for allergy sufferers
The main cat allergen, Fel d 1, is made in the skin glands and saliva, and cats spread it over their fur when grooming. No breed is free of it. Some cats produce less or shed less, so some people with allergies tolerate them better. Spend a few hours with the cat before you buy.
4 breeds. Breeds often suggested for allergy sufferers because they shed little or are described as producing less Fel d 1.
"Hypoallergenic" is a marketing label. Talk to an allergist before deciding.
