100	Donskoy Forum	Not hypoallergenic · hairlessness does not remove allergens Donskoys are not hypoallergenic. Hairlessness does not remove the major feline allergens produced in saliva and skin secretions, and allergens remain on the skin and household surfaces.
101	Sphynx Forum	Not hypoallergenic · hairlessness does not remove allergens Sphynx cats are not hypoallergenic. They still produce saliva- and skin-derived allergens, which can accumulate directly on the skin and on surfaces despite the absence of a normal coat.
102	Cornish Rex Forum	Not hypoallergenic · individual tolerance varies Cornish Rex cats are not hypoallergenic. Their reduced coat may spread less loose hair, but the major feline allergens are produced in saliva and skin secretions, so individual reactions still vary.
103	Devon Rex Forum	Not hypoallergenic · individual tolerance varies Devon Rex cats are not hypoallergenic. A sparse, low-shedding coat does not eliminate saliva- and skin-derived allergens, although individual allergy sufferers may react differently.
104	Peterbald Forum	Not hypoallergenic · individual tolerance varies Peterbalds are not hypoallergenic. Hairless or sparse-coated individuals still produce feline allergens in saliva and skin secretions, so tolerance is individual rather than breed-guaranteed.
105	Siberian Forum	Not hypoallergenic · possible lower fel d1 in some individuals Siberians are not reliably hypoallergenic. Some individual cats may produce comparatively less Fel d 1, but production varies within the breed and cannot be assumed for a particular cat.
106	Korat Forum	Some reports of better tolerance due to low floating hair but not hypoallergenic Allergy evidence: some reports of better tolerance due to low floating hair but not hypoallergenic.

Breed comparisons describe tendencies, not guarantees about an individual cat. Approximate entries are kept separate from the canonical research record and can be refined as better evidence arrives.
