Sorry for the cross-post but I am looking for a quick answer before someone I know makes a big mistake. Of course when we talk about mistakes with pets, it's usually the animal that ends up suffering.

So. . . is anyone aware of any breeds of cats that are hypo-allergenic? I know that ragdolls supposedly don't shed much, but I also heard that they do nothing to help allergies. Are there any cats out there that are recommended for people with allergies?
