No cat is allergen-free, not even hairless cats, although there are some studies that conclude a few breed of cats are less likely to cause Allergies than others.
There has been some evidence to suggest that Siberian cats produce relatively little of the Feld1 allergen as compared to other cats because of their tight, thick undercoat and oily top coat. This keeps their skin well hydrated, thereby reducing dander production and distribution.

∙ 14y agoYour best bet is to not get a cat. The allergen is actually in the cat's saliva and not in the fur. If you were to try and get a cat I would go with a hairless breed. The only problem being is that hairless cats are not cheap by any means so if the allergic reaction is more than you can handle you will be giving up the money you spent on the cat you can't keep. Good luck!

If interested our organization is called Purrs Naperville in Naperville, IL, and you can see our cats on Petfinder.com! If your allergies are that bad medicine helps a lot too. My dad takes Allegra D n now he's fine and I have 4 cats! Hope this helps!

If someone is allergic to cat are they allergic to parakeets?
Not quite; unless the person has multiple allergies ; which is possible. But when the people are allergic to cats most of the time is not the cat hair. What makes somebody to be allergic to cats is actually the saliva that the cat use to clean themselves and ends on his hair. Which at the end the cat is the one that carries it. Well saying this parakeets are birds and flap their winds a lot ; but they don't have the elements of the saliva's cat. Actually birds have a very clean beaks and tongue that some can die from human mouth contact (kiss). Perhaps the person can be allergic to the feathers. But like I said is very likely to be allergic to both...
