My eyes go red and tear when I have a cat around me. So I guess I'm pretty much allergic to them. Anyway, I still want one. So I was wondering if there are any breeds that people tend not to get allergic reactions to?

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Very few that are actually hypo allergenic since all cats produce dander and it's the dander that you're actually allergic to. Some people have better luck with persians or other long hairs. I think it's due to the long hair trapping the dander and not letting it get into the air or in the carpet. I would suggest getting allergy meds and then just finding any cat. Singulair seems to work on my dog allergies and it's just been approved for use on allergies and hay fever. You'll also find that after repeated exposure you'll build up a resistance to cats, specifically yours. Either way, I would suggest checking shelters for cats. You can find many cats, both mixes and purebreeds if you look hard enough.

The most likely allergin found in cats is sebum which is protein called Fel d 1. Sebum comes from the cat's sebaceous, (se-bay-shus), glands. These are found under the skin and are primarily located around the base of the tail. These glands help keep the skin and coat in good condition. The sebum dries and flakes into tiny particles about the size of aerosol droplets. They are so tiny they can cling to just about anything. It can remain in the home for months or even years after a cat has been removed.

My sister is allergic to cats but we have five. Like Dagna said, she became used to them and it doesn't affect her anymore, unless she gets around new moggies in which case she just has to get used to them again.
I hope you manage to find a way to get your cat as they are definately worthy of our love
