Hypoallergenic Cats and Allergies

There are several companies that have produced cats that produce less of the protein that most often triggers allergic reactions. In these hypoallergenic cats, a different version of the usual glycoprotein Fel d1 is produced, and is reported to cause fewer symptoms in people whose allergies have previously made it impossible to own a cat.

Here are 3 reasons why this new type of cat may not be the answer to your cat allergies.

1. They are incredibly expensive. When they first made their debut, the cost ranged between $6,000 and $30,000. With the increase in popularity, the cost has climbed to approximately $35,000. And while they are available in a number of colors, their life span (as with any cat) is not guaranteed. Your cat may live 20 years or 2. It’s simply a matter of paying your money and taking your chances.

2. The alternate protein that this new breed of cat produces may still cause you problems. Only time will tell whether this cute (albeit expensive) cat is one with which your allergies will tolerate. But after living with the cat long enough to tell, it would be excruciating (for a number of reasons) to have to find a new home for the cat.

3. It doesn’t solve the problem with your existing cat. If you already own a cat that you are attached to at the hip, the hypoallergenic cat does nothing to solve your problem.
