Allerca (a US-based company) has bred the world's first scientifically proven hypoallergenic cat: Allerca GD Cat - bred not to produce glycoprotein Fel D 1 (the allergen known to cause suffering to humans).

Several years on, Allerca has sold these cats into many households around the US, and in May 2007 shipped the first Allerca GD kitten internationally.

Despite the $9'950 price tag for UK & Ireland customers, and slightly less for US customers, the demand is so huge that Allerca have announced a two year waiting list, and will stop taking orders for one full year starting from August 31st 2007.

It is worth it?
