Sphynx

Sphynx cats are pretty much hairless, so they are probably one of the best choices when it comes to hypoallergenic cats.

Since they don’t have a lot of hair, Sphynx cats groom themselves less often than those that are long-haired. That’s why they transfer less protein-containing saliva to their body but also trigger fewer symptoms for allergy sufferers.

Hairless cats like the Sphynx are known to have a fine coat of downy fur, very similar to peach fuzz. They need extra care, including frequent bathing and occasionally applying oil to their skin, so they can keep it in good condition.

These cats are unique and lively; they have plenty of energy and love getting attention from their humans. Some even compare them to dogs!
