Are Savannah cats  hypoallergenic?

First of all, no breeder should claim that Savannah are entirely hypoallergenic. That said, a large number of people who have already experienced allergies to cats, may develop none or very little with Savannahs. We recommend if this is your case,to request a test you can do at home.

The coat of the Savannah kitten is “fuzzy” and therefore will change gradually to reach his adult hair. It is easier for an allergic person to allow his system to adapt on a long-term with a kitten.

The kitten will develop over time his coat and the owner will also develop a certain “habit”.

You could have some very slight reactions the first days but the situation should get better and better every week. We will not allow the allergic persons to visit the cattery since it would be a shock to their immune system and we would not be able to judge correctly on the long-term potential allergic reactions.

 It’s important to know that if a person has seasonal allergies, he might during that short period of time, notice a little more reaction to the cat. It usually stops at the same time as the seasonal allergies.
