Devon Rex

You might remember reading about this cat breed — featured in the picture above —  in former articles. They have pointy ears, hypnotic eyes, and short fur. The odd thing about their fur is that it’s so stuck to their skin that it’s almost impossible to separate the two.

People who have cat allergies aren’t allergic to the animal itself. Rather it’s a reaction to the mixture of their fur and saliva they leave around the house when they clean themselves. When their fur spreads all over the house, that’s when the sneezing and other symptoms start to take place.

Hamster

What if you don’t want to adopt a cat despite knowing it won’t give you allergic reactions? Well, you could start by adopting a small rodent like a hamster. However, you should make sure that you don’t have allergies to the dander.  If you have already spent hours with one without any problems, then obviously it could be the perfect pet for you.

If so, remember that most of the time these animals should be in their cage. That’s where they have their toys and other equipment. This animal can get bored and start to eat some of your furniture or favorite belongings.

Rabbits

If you like furry pets, but you’re allergic to them, that doesn’t mean that you have to give up on them. There are few known cases of rabbit allergies. And for some people, those that have them as pets don’t have major problems.

Having a rabbit can be very fun. This is especially true if you spend time teaching them things. They may seem a lot like a dog! They’ll come when you call (if you have it out of its hutch), feel bad when you scold them and want to be cuddled all the time, without any allergies!

Poodle

Sphynx Cat

This breed is one that few like because they don’t have fur. However, what better cat to have than a hairless one if you have allergies? Are you someone who likes to be different and original? If you love cats, would you ever give up on them just because they’re bald? If you wouldn’t, then this is the pet you’re looking for!

The skin of these cats needs to be cared for on a daily basis. You need to keep it hydrated at all times. Also, their ears aren’t protected by fur. So, you’ll have to clean them occasionally. To do so, you’ll have to be insistent with your cat and careful.
