Are American Curl cats hypoallergenic?

No, American Curl cats are not hypoallergenic. All cat breeds produce a protein called Fel d 1, which is found in their saliva, skin, and dander and is responsible for allergic responses in people. Some individuals and breeds, such as Balinese cats, may produce less of this protein, but American Curls produce an average amount of Fel d 1. 

If you’re considering bringing an American Curl into your home and have cat allergies, it’s a good idea to spend time with the breed first to see if you have any reactions. Additionally, regular grooming and maintaining a clean environment can help manage allergens, but they won’t eliminate them entirely.
