Cat allergies are typically triggered by the Fel d 1 protein found in saliva and dander—not just fur—making "hypoallergenic" a complex claim.
No cat breed is completely hypoallergenic. Even breeds marketed as hypoallergenic still produce allergens.
Some American cat breeds may shed less or produce slightly lower levels of allergens, but individual cats vary.
While the American Curl’s unique appearance is appealing, there’s no solid evidence that they produce fewer allergens than other breeds.
The Sphynx is often thought to be hypoallergenic due to its lack of fur, yet its skin still secretes allergens that can affect sensitive individuals.
A popular breed with a classic look, the American Shorthair produces typical levels of allergens, offering no special hypoallergenic benefits.
Regular bathing and grooming can help reduce allergen levels, regardless of breed, making care routines vital for allergy sufferers.
Allergy responses differ from person to person. What triggers one person may not affect another, regardless of the cat breed.
