Tips for people who are allergic but living with a cat

• Keep the cat out of the bedroom, since you spend so much time there.
• Clean aggressively, especially in your bedroom.
• Consider an air purifier.
• Keep surfaces throughout the home clean and uncluttered.
• Consider having bare floors and walls to minimize allergens.
• Pick carpeting with a low pile.
• Use throw rugs that you can wash in hot water.

Low allergen or “hypoallergenic” cats are known to produce fewer allergens than “regular” cats. Note that the operative word is “fewer” – no cat is completely hypoallergenic. Hypoallergenic cats produce less of the protein Fel D 1, making a reaction less likely.

Avoiding the allergen is best, but when that’s not possible, the following treatments may help: antihistamines, such as diphenhydramine (Benadryl), loratadine (Claritin) or cetirizine (Zyrtec) corticosteroid nasal sprays such as fluticasone (Flonase) or mometasone (Nasonex)

Approximately 3 out of 10 people with allergies or asthma also have reactions to dogs and cats, according to The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America. Cat allergies, however, are much more common, so it’s no wonder that so many people are excited about the idea of hypoallergenic breeds said to have a special type of fur or aren’t as prone to shedding. But according to experts, it’s not actually fuzzy fur you need to be concerned about if you’re allergic to cats—it’s a special protein all cats produce.

“There are several proteins cats shed that people react to : Fel D 1 through Fel D 7,” explains Tarina L. Anthony, DVM, owner and medical director of Aurora Cat Hospital and Hotel. “Fel D 1 is the most common allergen and mainly presents in saliva and dander. These little proteins are inhaled or come into contact with skin, eyes, and noses and cause hives, itchiness, sneezing, and watery eyes.”

With that in mind, here are some cat breeds presented to you by Blu Sky Siberian Forest Kittens that are low-allergen and low-shedding that could be a great fit for people with allergies. View Our Available Kittens to Find Your New Buddy.
