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.
We currently offer this service to mild allergy sufferers. The process involved in preparing the cats and the environment to ensure that a fair test is
available, involves a great deal of time and effort and is not always successful. We would probably expect to see you at least twice.
For this reason, from 1st October we will be charging 30 pounds for this service.
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 from 2010 we require you to have an 'allergy buddy', someone who is willing to take the kitten if your allergy returns. They must visit the cattery, preferably at the same time as your first visit or soon after, 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.
