It used to be that if you, your child or loved ones suffer from allergies, then it is strictly contraindicated to start pets. Nowadays, there is a unique opportunity to obtain a special hypoallergenic breed of cats by breeding. With such ideal animals, American breeders introduced the world to a cat of the breed allergy.

Cats and allergies

The cause of the allergic reaction is not wool, as many people think, but various types of Fe / D1 protein, which are present in saliva, sweat, urine, and animal skin fat. This allergen spreads through the living space, getting into the respiratory tract of a patient with an allergy person and causing severe attacks. If the cat has thick hair, then with its help it is easier for the allergen to fly around the house. It is also noted that representatives of the feline family with white or light coat color are less likely to cause an allergic reaction in people.

Super Breed History

Distrust of the new amazing breed is associated primarily with its breeder Simon Brody. Even before the introduction of the allergy cat, he had already created the allegedly unique Asher cat, but later it turned out that the new animal was just a subspecies of the African wild serval cat. Therefore, many were skeptical about the news that Allerca, the American research corporation, bred the world's first hypoallergenic breed.

The company submits its documents, in which it is recorded that the bred individuals lack the gene responsible for the production of allergenic enzymes, that is, this cat is completely hypoallergenic. The owners of the corporation even guarantee to return a considerable amount of money spent on the purchase if the new owners have at least the slightest symptoms of allergy.

Animal characterization

It should be immediately noted that the cat allergy is not officially recognized by the WCF.

You can buy it only abroad, in Russia there are no official breeders of these animals due to the terms of the contract when buying a cat - only as a pet, not for breeding.

Allerka is a medium-sized individual, which in adulthood weighs from 4 to 8 kilograms. Typical of this animal is the color of black marble on golden wool, at first glance, this is a cat with the usual spotty color. Foreign breeders claim that the secretion of the salivary and sweat glands of an allergy is absolutely safe for people suffering from allergies.
