No scientific evidence proves any cat breed, including Ragdoll, sheds less dander triggering human allergies.
No Truly Hypoallergenic Cats
Longhaired Ragdolls require regular combing to control loose fur. Their flowing coat traps dander against skin.
Ragdolls Do Shed
All cats groom themselves then lick owners. Allergens in cat saliva, skin and urine can still cause reactions.
Allergens in Saliva & Skin
Spend days foster caring for a Ragdoll before adopting to see if you acclimate and have milder symptoms.
Try Foster Care First
Daily antihistamines, nasal sprays, allergy shots can help those sensitive live with Ragdolls more comfortably.
Allergy Medications
High quality HEPA air purifiers effectively trap cat hair so it doesn’t irritate allergies by circulating in air.
Air Purifiers
Bathing cats every 2-4 weeks reduces loose dander in the air triggering symptoms in allergy sufferers.
