A Hypo-Allergenic Siberian Cat?
A Hypo-Allergenic Siberian 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
Siberian cats 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 the allergy tests in person.
