Hypoallergenic Fur
Siberians are one of a few select breeds of cat that are considered hypoallergenic. It is theorized that Siberians have genetically lower levels than other cats of a protein called Fel d1 in their saliva that many humans are allergic to. For this reason, these cats are becoming especially popular with allergy sufferers. Please visit our Links page for further information on cats and allergies. Since some Siberians may not be hypoallergenic, you should always visit with a potential kitten or test hair samples from the parents before purchasing.
