OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! if it wasn't for my kid..........

This website reeks of scam. There are no companies other than allerca mentioned on the site, no vet names, nothing to suggest the company is real and could be further researched. There are no adult cats, only kittens shown on the site. The site's only been running for a few months. They expect a full payment of almost $6000 at the time of ordering. Makes me think along the lines of "scam scam scam scam scam"

A quick google search turned up hundreds of news articles about Allerca.

Here's one:

I don't think it's a scam.

If it isn't.and they are actually genetically altered.............I think that will rankle me more.

This came up in another forum here I think, a few months ago.

Like we need to genetically engineer special cats when the shelters are crammed with lovely kitties needing homes!

Like you, Kym, I think most folks handle their allergies like you do. And many even 'outgrow' the allergies, whatever their age.

Then I think of people who use the word "allergy" as an excuse!

Candace,

I am lucky, mine are very mild compared to some people who are I understand deathly allergic. But to genetically engineer an animal I am having an issue with this. I am NOT stating my Op to adrian yet as I want him to learn to take all sides and views before just blindly following ...............

but with all the rescues we did just this year alone.......it truly annoys me.

Lordy Lordy all I have to say is what will these Cross Breed Scientist come up with next..

I'd still like to know who conducted the study, and how long they've been researching the effects of removing a protein from a cat's system. I only see kittens on the site.
