The Best Cat Breeds for People With Allergies

Hey cat lovers! HEPA filters are linked in the description box. ❤ Also, if you want to learn more about these breeds, (so far) we have videos about the Siamese and the Sphynx. Check out the "Cat Breeds" playlist on our channel. 😻

Siamese are the best hypoallergenic cats besides SPYNX cats who have absolutely no fur at all

Thanks for telling us this!

For each breed in this video regarding producing less fell d1: This is down to singular individuals and is not heregenetic.

I have two Balinese and am allergic, and they do not cause me any issues. I do not take medicine. I lock them out of my room at night - this seems to be the key as when i let them sleep with me after a few weeks i start to get allergies. As long as they stay out of my room at night i have no issues even when i brush and cuddle them! They are also more affordable than siberian because they are less known, they can be half the price even from ethical breeders that hand them over with registration papers, fixed, and vaccinated.

I got a Siberian. Then I got his brother. After 60 years of allergies it’s so fun to rub cheeks

Having short hair does not mean you shed less. My british shorthairs have short hair, and they shed boatloads.

if anyone is interested heres the list written out,



1. siamese
2. balinese
3. oriental shorthair
4. javanese
5. russian blue
6. cornish rex
7. devon rex
8. selkirk rex
9. siberian
10. sphynx

I love animals but have always had real bad cat allergies...I am now looking after a siberian that wandered in to my house 3 days ago & could be a stray.. I wouldn't say I've had no issues but its deffo a LOT better! Thanks for the vid I hope to be able to keep this lil guy or get a dog/cat one day 🥲💕

HOly hell! I didnt click the vid for information on WHAT ALLERGIES ARE and how to avoid them! Change the title to your VID or delete the first 8 minutes of it describing how to freaking clean.

I'm allergic to cat's, dog's and horse's. We got a Siberian and ZERO allergic reaction. Your mileage may very.

If you’re allergic then try immunotherapy

I would like to get a Russian blue, and a Sphinx cat :)

Why isn't the Bengal cat on this list? Bengals are very low allergic.

It actually depends on the amount of cat's allergens and how sensitive the person is.
My boyfriend is highly allergic to cats and dogs. We had one Balinese and 3 Siberians. He could only lived with one Siberian. The cat is female, own cotton like fur and seems to produce very few fell D1. It has been 9 Months now and he never got any allergic reaction toward the cat. I only find it sad for the cat, that she must live without other cat's company.

You didn’t mention Ragdolls? I have had a Ragdoll and people highly allergic to cats could tolerate my cat very well. I always thought that was touted as one of the advantages of the breed?

I love cats so much but I'm allergic to them but they're so adorable especially the Scottish fold they are adorable

Siberian is super cute

I have a Balinese cat! I’m fairly allergic- if I walk into someone’s house who has cats I’ll immediately sneeze- and if I pet another cat I have to make sure to wash my hands. My Balinese cat I don’t react to! She sleeps near my face and I’m fine. I am still slightly allergic when she scratches me. I also feed her Purina Live clear- you’ll always technically be slightly allergic to your cat because no cat is free of that feld1 protein but as someone with a fairly severe cat allergy having a Balinese has been amazing!

I own a Balinese cat and am highly allergic to cats. As long as I take an allergy pill and nasal spray every day, I’m completely fine. Balinese cats are talkative, VERY playful/active, intelligent, an affectionate. They’re almost like dogs in the fact that it helps to have more than one person looking after them because they constantly crave human interaction!

My cat frequently sticks her tail in my face and walks on me to wake me when the chicken is baked. Is she a good allergy cat ?

I don't have allergy and i am a cat lover but i'm here lol

Thank you for this! I'm allergic to cats, dogs, anything with fur. (dander) I love my buddy, I take pills, nasal spray and eye drops, there's no stopping me from loving my buddy 🥰🐾🐾😻👍

When Zyrtec came out it mostly solved my severe allergy issues. We have a kitty…she’s actually hubby’s baby…but she can’t come up in the bed. I can pet her, but nit fir long periods or one my lap. I love cats and am happy to have her in the house. This is helpful information…she’s 20 now, so will save this.

I'm allergic to cats and have one, I just take allergy meds and I'm fine, I liked cats a bit too much to never have one

My cat doesn't eat grapes but.. she does like to play with them so she roams around with a grape in her mouth looking for someplace to hide it. I already knew her hiding place so I used to leave it there for her to play but after watching one of your videos I saw that cats shouldn't eat grapes or raisins and if they do it can lead to kidney failure so I got scared and stopped her from playing with grapes and if I did see it in her hiding place I pick it up. So thank you 😊 for the advice. Your channel is really helpful.

P.S I know that this isn't the video I should be telling this but I wanted you to know so I looked for your most recent video and commented on it.

certo se si ha interesse nell'adottare un gatto e si e' allergici e' importante scegliere almeno uno di queste razze dopo pero' avere fatto delle prove..
riportare indietro un animale che si era scelto e' una delle maggiori sofferenze..

All this is nice and dandy, but the real solution is to solve your allergies! For attaining this purpose, you need to adopt some important changes in your diet. First, avoid industrial foods; second, avoid starchy foods and sugar and foods rich in sugars. Adopt a more outdoors active life. Expose yourself to sunlight, and make full reserves in vitamin D3, and also A, and K2. Adopt more green veggies in your diet. My best of health wishes to you, and company of your beloved cat(s).

I looked at so many cats before I found one that I could tolerate. She's part British short hair and parts is parts Siberian. Anyway her coat is short but thick and keeps the dander close to her skin.
We also brush every other day.. and because she freaking loves it. We bath 4x a year, or as needed. Like when she got under a car and came out painted in grease.
I have had mixed experiences. I've had a cat run against my hand and gotten hives instantly. I've had my friends Cheetoh (real breed) do the same thing and no reaction. I will get a small reaction from litter paws.

Now if I could only learn to clean regularly.

I'm allergic but I take one pill daily and everything is fine. I have 9 cats and 3 dogs.

Bombay cats are another great hypoallergenic breed. ☺️👍

My Kitty friend is a Bengal who has three layers of fur, with the black at 45ˆ. Her fur is coming back, after a long struggle that's finally improving. But I am unaccustomed to her saliva, until recently (no reaction, so far), and she has begun to shed the undercoat, I think. I will search your site for more info on my sweetie - thank you for sharing this interesting and useful information.

My allergist told me that you can build up a tolerance to your own cat. That's been true for me. I just have to watch they don't put their nose on my neck during a snuggle. I'll get hives where I'm touched especially by their noses. I found my long haired cats to be less allergenic than short haired cats. Anyone else out there in You Tube Land have a similar experience?

I have asthma and I reacted to dogs as a teenager I would always have a runny nose and uncontrolled asthma. During the pandemic I found a small kitten under my car. Because I had allergic reactions to dogs I had a lot of people telling me to not keep it. I longed for a pet and my one and only dog died in 1999 after which my parents never had any pets. I still took him in and later took his brother too. I share the same bed with them and beat covid and a severe asthma attack with them never leaving my side. They gave me courage and hope and I beat the delta variant. I surprisingly have no reaction to them. They are the domestic short hair who sleep on my pillow and snuggle with me. Even when I have an attack it is so much more easier for me to deal with it and the asthma is so much more controlled. Of course cat or no cat, I do have inhalers and nasal sprays to take every day. But having these angels around me is truly a blessing. In fact one of the wakes me up if I am having an attack when I am asleep.

I have always been allergic to cats. But I do not care about it because I have a kitten right now. Just 1. He's a short hair guy who is very sweetheart. He is a great cat. I am not giving up on him. Period.

Great video! I have to say the cleaning advice really do work❤️🥰 thank goodness, couldn’t live without our cats!

Russian blues to me r for sure the best soft grey my Russian blue I have had her 19 years one the best she talks to me like she's half human 🐺😻

Thank goodness I am not allergic to cats!
Salutations 🐾🤗

Hello! Can you make a video on facts about Scottish folds?

Very good video, didn’t know some cat were better for allergies 🤧 but thank goodness I can have any type/breed with me !😍🥰😻😎🤗

Siamese are my favorite, then Russian Blue 2nd. WoW that Devon Rex looks funny😁. I want a Siberian cat! I agree adoption is for life.

I'm glad I'm not allergic to cats.

As a cat lover with a cat allergy, I find this very useful! I've also considered getting a Sphynx and/or a Siberian! Maybe someday I'll get one of these cats as a companion!
