Are Turkish Angora cats hypoallergenic?

No, Turkish Angora cats are not hypoallergenic, but some people with allergies might find them more tolerable than other breeds. While no cat breed is entirely hypoallergenic, Turkish Angoras tend to produce fewer allergens compared to some other breeds. They have less of the Fel d 1 protein, which is a common allergen found in cat saliva and dander. Their moderate shedding and relatively low amount of dander can sometimes help reduce allergic reactions.

However, individuals with severe cat allergies might still experience reactions to Turkish Angora cats. It’s a good idea for potential cat pet parents with allergies to spend time with the adults of the breed before adopting to see how their allergies might be affected.
