Research has shown that all cats produce some Fel d1, but some cats produce considerably less than others. The Siberian Cat breed is thought to produce some of the lowest levels of Fel d1.
Siberian cats are often considered hypoallergenic or low-allergen due to their lower levels of the Fel d1 protein, which is a common allergen in cats. This makes them a potential option for individuals with allergies to cats.
Many people with cat allergies report fewer or milder allergic reactions when exposed to Siberian cats, although this can vary from person to person. The reason for the lower levels of Fel d1 in Siberian cats is not fully understood, but it is believed to be related to genetic factors.
It is important to note that individual sensitivity to cat allergens can vary, so it is recommended that individuals with allergies spend time with a Siberian cat before bringing one into their home to see how they react. Additionally, regular grooming and cleaning practices can help reduce the levels of allergens in the environment.
Allergy Science
The Fel d1 protein is created in the saliva, skin and anal glands of the cat. It is spread onto the cat's fur during grooming and once dry, it easily becomes airborne. It is not therefore the cat's fur that you may be allergic to and hence long haired or short-haired and even hairless cats can all cause reactions in allergic individuals. The Fel d1 production is regulated by the cat's hormones. It used to be thought that females produced lower levels of Fel d1 than males however recent research has dispelled this myth and it has been showed that both male and female Siberians can produce very low levels of the allergen. The level of Fel d1 does however increase as the cat matures and hormones increase and thus spaying/neutering will reduce the allergen levels produced by the cat. The increase of Fel d1 with age may explain why some people adopt a kitten only to find that they are allergic when the kitten grows up! That said, when living with a cat the repeated exposure to cat allergens may also reduce an individual's reaction to the cat. It is thought that high levels of exposure to the allergen may induce the production of "regulatory T cells" in the body. If you suffer from allergies to other animals as well as cats, chances are you will still have an allergic reaction to a cat that has a low level of Fel d1 as it is likely one of the other proteins that you are reacting to. The Siberian Research Inc, a not-for-profit corporation, believes that if you are allergic to cats and not any other animals you are most likely only allergic to the Fel d1. They believe that Fel d1 accounts for around 60% of allergic reactions to cats.
