Are Colorpoint Shorthair cats hypoallergenic?

No, Colorpoint Shorthair cats aren’t hypoallergenic. They produce a standard amount of the Fel D 1 protein, which is a common allergen for many people. This protein is found in their saliva, skin, and fur, so when they groom themselves, it can spread through their coat and into the environment. 

While some people with mild allergies might tolerate them better than breeds that shed heavily, those sensitive to cat allergens will likely still react to them. Keeping up with their grooming, making sure the house is clean, washing pet bedding, frequently washing your hands, and creating a pet-free zone in the house can help reduce the impact of pet allergens in the home.
