Most of what you will read on the internet about Hypoallergenic Russian Blue breed refers to the Fel D1 protein, but there are other seven unexplored proteins which can cause people to have an allergic reaction. They are far less common, but they exist nonetheless.

​

Fel D1, concentrated largely in cat saliva, is thought to be the major allergen responsible for human immune hyper-reactivity.

 Please read this paper in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology , regarding cat allergies:

​

If you or your children have an allergy, please do not take it lightly. 

​

  You may experience symptoms and may have to return your kitten after your family has become attached to the kitten and the kitten to you.​

​

Because we want permanent homes for our Russians, we will consider homes where one or more adult family member has cat allergies ONLY if they are willing to take the necessary precautions and medications if needed.
