Kids love to play with cats. Whether they want to carry their cat around pretending she’s their baby or want her to sit as a guest at their tea party, you need a kitty who’s affectionate, playful and most of all: patient.
Gradually introduce her to the family and teach your children how to respect her. Give her plenty of time to get acclimated to her new household. Some cat breeds are better for children than others so make sure and do some research before bringing one home.
Many people believe specific breeds—particularly some hairless cats—are "hypoallergenic" cats. Because these so-called non-allergenic cats don’t have hair or don’t shed, people believe they won’t cause a reaction.
This is not the case. All cats produce allergens, regardless of breed and whether or not they shed or have hair at all.
The cat breeds outlined below may make it easier for people sensitized to cat allergens to manage. A cat who sheds less(or not at all), means fewer allergens end up in the environment.
Find the best hypoallergenic cat breeds that fit your allergen free household including the Balinese-Javanese, Cornish Rex, Devon Rex, Siberian and Sphynx.
