​​​Are Siberian Cats Hypoallergenic?
​
Siberian cats are not completely hypoallergenic; however, Mindeelyn Siberians are bred for naturally lower Fel d 1 levels, the primary protein responsible for most cat allergies. This means many allergy sufferers experience significantly fewer symptoms when living with a Siberian cat.
​​
Animal allergies—especially to cats—are extremely common. Millions of people in North America experience cat allergies, with symptoms that may include:
-
Sneezing and nasal congestion
-
Itchy nose, throat, or skin
-
Red, itchy, watery eyes
-
Coughing or wheezing
-
Difficulty breathing or a chronic sore throat
​
Why Are Some People Less Allergic to Siberian Cats?
Siberian cats tend to produce lower amounts of the Fel d1 protein. This protein is found in a cat’s saliva and skin. When cats groom, lower Fel d1 levels can reduce allergen buildup in the home.
​
​​​Important facts to know:
-
Coat length, fur color, and fluffiness do not affect allergen levels
-
Male or female cats can both trigger allergies
-
Siberians are not allergy-free, but many people react less to them
-
Around 80–85% of allergy suffers report living comfortably with a Siberian
This information is based on published allergy research and long-term observations from Siberian breeders and allergists.
Because every person’s allergy sensitivity is different, reactions can vary from household to household. Testing with an allergen kit, obtainable from Mindeelyn Siberians, before bringing one home is always recommended.
​​​​
Bottom Line
No cat is 100% hypoallergenic, but Siberian cats are one of the best options for many people with cat allergies. Testing your personal reaction before committing is the most reliable way to decide.
