I find them quite "hypo-allergenic" but don't know that everyone would...I would suspect that they would be the very best for a person with allergies...I couldn't believe it when I didn't react at all to over 10 cats in their house and most of them in your face wherever you are. I also usually react to cats saliva but don't with these guys. Could be coincidence though. I would recommend them....I just love them! But they do take some getting used to...and your house needs to be a comfortable temp...our guys were kept in a very very very warm house (which is not necessary) so have had to adjust over the last week to our meek 74 as compared to over 84+...they sure couldn't have reef tanks! They do well at 70-74 so a normal house...unless of course you have reef tanks and try to keep the room cool... so the tanks don't overheat!

Another breed to look into is the Bengal,they are claimed to be hypo-allergenic as well.Ours is a spotted bengal and has more of a pelt then cat fur.

I checked into the Devon Rex once, as I am allergic to cats. Since then, I've been allergy tested and am allergic to cat saliva.

Ten minutes into a room full of Devon Rex and I could barely breath.
