FEL D1 & HYPOALLERGENIC INFORMATION

---

The Siberian cat is the ONLY cat breed that can legitimately claim the title of being hypoallergenic and they have the proof behind them to back it up. Many people who suffer with cat allergies can tolerate a Siberian cat very well. Most people with this type of allergy never experience any symptoms living with a Siberian. There are hundreds of testimonials proving this claim. Add me to the list. The Siberian has a much reduced level of FEL-D1, the potent “cat allergen”. Many people with cat allergies are allergic to this protein. The protein is deposited on the cats’ fur by their saliva when they are grooming themselves. When the fur dries, it then flakes off as dander and becomes the airborne allergen that triggers allergy symptoms in sensitive people. Most Siberian cats produce such a low level of the FEL-D1 compared to other pedigreed and domestic cats, due to a protein sequence missing in their DNA. This has given the Siberian cat the hypoallergenic title. When another breed is crossed with the Siberian, it can reintroduce this missing link.
