The first cats in the world to be bred specifically for allergies have launched the US market. Biological company Allerca releases this type of cat by eliminating a protein that stimulates an allergic reaction in humans. Picture 1 of Hypoallergenic cats are released to the market

These special cats will not make their owners red eyes, sneeze or even asthma attacks - something that some people are more likely to be allergic to cats.

Although it costs $ 3,950, the list of people waiting for this type of animal is quite long.

Allerca, a San Diego-based company said it created the cats using a technique called gene isolation. After identifying cat genes that are capable of producing proteins that cause less allergic reactions in humans, they give them selective breeding over several generations to produce a hypoallergenic "super cat" product.
