    Is there such a thing as a non-allergy cat?
    My partners work mate loves cats but he is allergic to them, I know you can get the hairless cats but he doesn't like the look of them.
    Are there any other breeds that he could get?

    A friend of mine is allergic to cats, but they got a Blue Russian. Apparently they are of a special breed that people with an allergy to cats can tolerate.

    He's had the cat for half a year now, and his allergies are not bothering him. I am also allergic to cats, and the cat isn't bothering me either.

    So a Blue Russian would be the way to go. Other than those and hairless cats, I do not think there are any more options...

    some info and pictures can be found here

    Your friend could get shots so he can tolerate the cat. A lot of people who have dogs get them so you can probably get it if you have a cat. The blue russian cat has short fur so that would also be a good idea. They are so cute too. Maybe the cat just needs to have short fur.
