Are Cornish Rex cats hypoallergenic?

Yes, Cornish Rex cats are considered hypoallergenic. However, the term “hypoallergenic” is used loosely: there is no truly hypoallergenic cat breed. All cats, regardless of hair length or coat type, produce allergy-inducing dander in their skin, saliva, and urine. That said, Cornish Rex cats can be a good option for people with mild cat allergies because they shed much less than many other breeds. There’s no guarantee a Cornish Rex won’t trigger allergies. While someone with allergies might find a Cornish Rex manageable, others might still experience reactions.
