A member asked:
Would a sphynx cat be compatible if i have cat allergies?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: All cats, felines, contain the major cat allergens that cause symptoms. If you haven't already done so, seeing a board certified allergist can confirm the cat allergy and offer treatment such as allergy shots that can really help a cat allergic person tolerating being around cats.
