TO COPE Cats can provoke allergy symptoms of varying severity in all of us. You may read that there are cats out there that will not provoke such a reaction. However, there are cats that many people who are allergic to,can live with quite nicely, and one of them is the cornish rex. I have placed a few cats in homes with allergies with great success.
All cats shed, even the ones that are touted as non-shedding.
The difference is that cornish rex only have 1 coat of down fur, and they shed LESS than other breeds, and virtually unnoticeable. As you will read below, the bigger problem is with the dried saliva, and all cats are fastidious groomers. This page is designed to help you cope with those allergies. Cornish Rex cats are considered to be hypoallergenic, that is, to invoke the least reaction. They have short down fur only, that does not visibly shed.
