Are Selkirk Rex cats hypoallergenic?

No, Selkirk Rex cats are not hypoallergenic. Cat allergies stem from Fel d 1, a protein found in cat saliva, urine, and dander. All cats produce Fel d 1, regardless of breed. Some people with allergies may find they react less severely to certain cats, but it’s unpredictable and not a guarantee. If you’re set on a Selkirk Rex but have allergies, consider spending time with one before bringing it home to gauge your reaction.
