Hypoallergenic Cats…..is it true?
A small California biotech company says it is ready to deliver the Holy Grail of the $35 billion pet industry: a hypoallergenic cat. New York Times
In October of 2004 a company called Allerca out of San Diego began a project to produce kittens that do not produce the protiens that most humans are allergic to. These so called "lifestyle" cats are available at cost of $4000. While some may think that this is outrageous others from around the world are hoping to be able to purchase one of these cats. Orders are being taken and the wait time can be a year to two depending on where special homes are found.
Would you pay this amount for a pet? Bets are on the company making a sizable profit.
