“14 Hypoallergenic Cat Breeds for People With Allergies”
https://www.thesprucepets.com/hypoallergenic-cat-breeds-553872
Cat allergies are caused by a protein called Fel d 1.1 When cats groom themselves, Fel d 1 gets on their fur and dander, exposing you to it. While no cat is truly free of allergens, breeds referred to as hypoallergenic have lower levels of the Fel d 1 protein, making them a potentially better option for people with allergies.

I’m also allergic, so I buy stupidly expensive cat food that reduces the enzyme in cats saliva that most people react to. I’m good to cuddle and pet my cat, as long as I can avoid scratches, I’m good.
