For those who love cleanliness: top cat breeds that do not shed

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.
