New Breed of cat for those who are allergic
- Thread starter gardenandcats
- Start Date
What about Devon Rex? They've been marketed as hypoallergenic....so this would seem unnecessary. *shrug*
I told my friend about this which he read with interest right up to the part about costing FOUR THOUSAND dollars!
Yeah, 4k plus a two year waiting list
But to be fair the cost does include a lot of extras including:
An ALLERCA GD kitten at 12 weeks of age
Complete and updated vaccinations through delivery
Mandatory spaying or neutering
Microchip Identifier implant
One year of premium veterinary health insurance through Pets Best. Click on this link petsbest.com to find out more about Pets Best ∆
1 x Home Environmental Allergy Test (to check for existing cat allergen in your home)
2 x Allergy Tests (a complete FDA approved home allergy test)
ALLERCA airline certified cat transporter
Veterinary Health Certificate (required for travel)
One set of nail caps already applied (these are vinyl nail caps applied to your kitten's claws that effectively cover the claws so no damage occurs when your kitten scratches)
ALLERCA Starter Pack (includes premium kitten food, additional nail caps, cat toys and other kitten sundries)
One year guarantee (see purchase agreement for terms and conditions)
Yeah, these people are gonna make a lot of money. I guess if I had such horrible allergies that I could not live with a cat by taking the usual measures, and I had tons of money, I would probably buy one. Luckily, I'm not allergic, and I don't have lots of money ... doh
