No cat is fully hypoallergenic. People react to a protein in cat saliva and skin, not to the hair, so every cat produces some allergen. Some breeds and individual cats produce less and are better tolerated, which is the honest meaning of hypoallergenic here: lower-allergen, not allergen-free. Individual cats vary a lot, so two cats of the same breed can affect you quite differently.

Spend real, unhurried time with the specific cat before committing, since reactions are individual and a short visit is not enough. If your allergies are mild, many people manage well with a lower-allergen cat plus good habits: an air purifier, frequent cleaning, washing your hands after handling and keeping the bedroom cat-free. If your allergies are severe, talk to your GP first.

The hypoallergenic cats listed in England today are with Bryson's Animal Shelter at Eighton Banks (1), Freshfields Animal Rescue at Ince Blundell (1), Gables Dogs & Cats Home at Plymouth (1) and 5 other rescues; each profile shows that rescue's fee.

The fee usually covers neutering, microchipping and first vaccinations, and each rescue confirms its own fee.

No. We don't list animals for sale. Every hypoallergenic cat on this page is with a rescue or rehoming centre.

For comparison, Cats Protection says £80 to £120 on average for an adult cat and £100 to £120 for a kitten. In England, Lucy's Law has meant since 6 April 2020 that kittens under six months can't be sold by a third party such as a pet shop or dealer: you buy direct from the breeder or adopt from a rehoming centre.

Not here: we only list cats with rescues, so every hypoallergenic cat listed here is adopted for the rescue's fee, which usually covers vet work already done. Whether to buy is your choice. Adopting means the rescue can tell you what it knows about the hypoallergenic cat's history and health before you apply. If you decide to buy a pedigree kitten, Cats Protection suggests a breeder registered with a breed association such as the GCCF, and seeing the kitten with its mother at home rather than buying from a video or social media advert.

Usually not. UK rescues normally ask for an adoption fee, which pays towards neutering, microchipping and vaccinations. Of the 8 hypoallergenic cats listed in England today, each shows its rescue's fee on the profile; the nearest rescue is Bryson's Animal Shelter at Eighton Banks. At the large cat charities, fees for one cat are under £200: Cats Protection says £80 to £120 on average for an adult cat and £100 to £120 for a kitten, and Blue Cross fees start from £150 for cats aged 4 months to 7 years. An animal offered "free to a good home" is usually a private advert rather than a rescue. In England, cats must be microchipped before they are 20 weeks old, so ask to see the microchip details.

Both, though adults outnumber kittens: as of 7 November 2026, 1 kitten of the 8 hypoallergenic cats listed in England is 12 months or under by their listed age. Kittens are usually rehomed quickly, so an email alert beats checking back.
