What kinds of cats have hair, but not fur?
Cats have a dander that causes the allergy with cat allergies it’s not actually the fur (hair) my son when he was born had terrible allergies to cats and dogs so I had to give up my kitty. Since I had always had cats I did research and the allergist told me to get a Persian cat they don’t have the dander that causes the allergies and my son never had a problem with this kind of cat but it was the only one I could have around him. Try the Persian or talk to your boyfriends doctor and see if that would work it worked for us.
