The best cats for allergies

Most hypoallergenic cats on this list have two main things in common: they produce fewer Fel d1 proteins, and they have only one layer of fur instead of three. Less fur means they shed fewer hairs, and fewer cat allergens drift into and around the living space.

If you suffer from allergies but are in desperate need of a cat, you can get a Shorthair, a Rex, or a Siamese cat. Here’s a list of cats that are somehow hypoallergenic:

Devon Rex

These cute little cats have only a layer of fine, slightly curly hair, and they shed much less than any other cat breed.

This basically means that you will deal with less fur and dander in your home, so there are fewer symptoms to trigger.

It’s not that uncommon for these cute Devon Rex cats to purr very loudly when they’re happy during cuddle time.
