The search for a hypoallergenic cat with minimal shedding has become popular among furry lovers. Kitipes experts have named four breeds that meet these criteria.

Many cat owners want to avoid the hassle of cleaning because of constant shedding. Although this process is natural, some breeds with short hair are ideal for those with allergies. This is especially true for cats that actively shed their hair only twice a year - in spring and fall.

However, if your pet is shedding too much hair, it may be a sign of stress or health problems. Experts emphasize that cats with minimal shedding are suitable not only for allergy sufferers but also for those who want to reduce the time spent on cleaning.

Such breeds include Devon Rexes, Bengal cats, Oriental Shorthair cats, and British Shorthair cats. Each of these breeds has its own characteristics that may be of interest to cat lovers.

Devon Rex

This breed is known for its unusual appearance and friendly nature. Cats have large eyes, wide ears, and short, curly hair. Devon Rexes are very sociable and get along well with people and other animals. They shed moderately, and grooming their coat is easy.

Bengal cat

A hybrid of a wild and domestic cat with a leopard color and shiny coat. The main shedding occurs in the first months of life, and then this process is very moderate. Bengals are playful, energetic, and love to spend time with their owners.

Oriental Shorthair cat

These cats do not have an undercoat, which makes their coat smooth and shiny. They are known for their gracefulness, activity, and sociability. When shedding, minimal hair is left on the floor.

British Shorthair cat

This breed is famous for its independence and endurance. British Shorthair cats do not cause shedding problems because of their short and dense undercoat. They are ideal for the home, even if owners do not have much time to clean.
