Are Snowshoe cats hypoallergenic?

No, Snowshoe cats aren’t considered hypoallergenic because they produce standard amounts of Fel d 1 protein, which is primarily responsible for causing allergic reactions in affected individuals. This protein is found in their saliva, skin, urine, and dander.

Weekly grooming can be really helpful in minimizing allergens spread around the home. Frequently brushing them helps reduce the amount of loose fur and dander. Keeping their living area clean, vacuuming with a HEPA filter, and using air purifiers can also help reduce allergens in the environment.
