A Hypo-Allergenic Cat?

The "Cat Allergen" is called FEL D1. The primary sources of FEL D1 are (1) secretions from the glands of the skin and (2) what is left on the fur from the saliva when the cats clean themselves. Eventually these allergens flake off and become airborne, triggering allergic reactions.

The Siberian Cat produces a REDUCED LEVEL of FEL D1, due to a protein sequence missing from their DNA. Only pure-bred Siberians will have this genetic advantage, so choose your Siberian Breeder carefully if the hypo-allergenic trait is one of the benefits of interest to you!

It is important to note that the DEGREE to which individuals react or don't react to a Siberian can vary from cat to cat, and color to color. Therefore, if your allergies are moderate to severe , you should choose a local breeder and test your allergies with the kitten you will be bringing home with you.

 

We are open for allergy tests.
We charge $50.00 (non-refundable) visiting fees to be tested with parents of the litter
For furr sample through mail we charge $10.00
