ALLERGIES & THE SIBERIAN CAT
Information
There is some evidence to suggest that Siberian Cats provoke less reaction in allergy sufferers.
This in my experience depends on the individual and would recommend anyone who has an allergy to cats to visit the cattery of their choice
before commiting to a kitten.
Due to our breeding British Longhairs we no longer do allergy test visits. You are welcome to visit our kittens when available.
Please note, we cannot expose severe allergy sufferers or asthmatics to our cats for safety reasons.
If you wish to discuss this further, please contact me.
If you are considering a Siberian kitten because you are an allergy sufferer, please note that we require you to have an 'allergy buddy', someone who is willing to take the kitten if your allergy returns. We no longer take back kittens due to allergic reactions, due to the stress this places on the kitten. We will of course help to rehome in extreme circumstances where possible. We would advise your 'buddy' to visit the cattery, preferably at the same time as your first visit or soon after, so that we can meet and approve them and to ensure they can also provide a suitable home.
We intend to post here the results of our placements and any information we can provide through experience.
For now we suggest you visit the website of the Siberian Research Inc. Although in its infancy,
research into the lack of allergic reaction from the Siberian is progressing.
