Siberian Cats are known to be Hypoallergenic cats. Hypo meaning less so less allergic. There have been numerous studies done that show Siberians have lower levels of FEL d1. The protien found to be the cause of most cat allergies. FEL d1 tests can be done on idividual cats but this won't tell you how you as an individual will react to the cat. Its recommended you give your body 4-6 weeks to adjust to the new kitty in the house, you may have allergy symptoms but they will lessen as your body adjusts. You can request a fur sample or a pillowcase sample but this won`t show long term affects as the allergens will disapate over time.
We have a lot of cat allergies in our family and nobody has reacted. My husband has a bad cat allergy, if we went visiting he had to take an allergy pill before leaving to ensure no itchy eyes or skin would cut our visit short. I recieved a hair sample from a local breeder and when he didn`t react we crossed our fingers and got our female, which he has never reacted to. Recently we took a 5 hour round trip car ride with her and she rode most of the trip on his shoulder and he didn`t even get so much as a sniffle ! When our king arrived my husband had snuffles and sneezing for 3 days and now nothing, and that`s with cats sleeping on and around him. I can`t guarantee that everyone will have such positive results but our experience has been purrrfect !
