Cats That Don’t Shed: Ideal Breeds and Essential Care

For people with allergies or those looking to keep their home hair-free, choosing a cat that doesn't shed can be ideal. While all cats shed to some extent, there are breeds that lose very little hair and require specific care to keep their skin and coat healthy.

Why Do Some Cats Shed Less Hair?

Hair loss in cats depends on their coat type, genetics, and growth cycle. Breeds with short, curly, or no undercoat tend to shed less, although that doesn’t mean they’re low maintenance. Many require regular grooming, brushing, and appropriate products.

Cat Breeds That Shed Very Little

Sphynx

Almost hairless, this breed requires regular baths to remove excess oil. Artero Spa Vital is recommended to hydrate and soothe its sensitive skin.

Devon Rex

Short and curly coat that sheds very little. Artero Moisturizing Shampoo helps maintain curl elasticity.

Cornish Rex

Very fine and wavy hair. Occasional brushing and a gentle shampoo like Artero Moisturizing are enough.

Russian Blue

Dense double coat that loses very little hair. Protein Vital is recommended to keep it shiny and healthy.

Balinese

Though semi-longhaired, this breed does not shed excessively. Mix spray makes brushing easier without damaging its fine coat.

Essential Care for Cats That Don’t Shed

- Regular brushing with soft combs or small slicker brushes.
- Use of gentle shampoos like Artero Moisturizing, suitable for cats.
- Coat hydration with Protein Vital or Mix Spray.
- For hairless cats, apply Spa Vital to soothe and protect the skin.
- Regular veterinary check-ups to prevent skin issues.
