Are British Shorthair cats hypoallergenic?

No, British Shorthair cats are not considered hypoallergenic. These cats shed dander, which can trigger allergies in sensitive individuals. The level of allergens will vary with each cat, and reactions will depend on a person’s specific allergies. 

It’s recommended that prospective pet parents spend time with a British Shorthair before deciding to adopt the cat. They should also maintain a clean living environment and factor in grooming practices to manage potential allergic reactions.
