Meet Joshua the allergy-free cat
If you love cats but they make you sneeze then Joshua could be the pet puss for you!
The 18-month-old feline has been specially bred so that he doesn’t set off allergic reactions in people like coughing, sneezing and itching.
Cat allergies are caused by a protein in the cat’s skin and saliva, but an American company has bred animals that don’t make this protein.
Joshua is ready to be sent to a new home but will cost about £3,000 ($5,650).
The company who bred him said that one of the reasons people give cats up for adoption is because they find they are allergic to them.
It hopes the new breed of non-allergy cat will lead to a drop in abandoned animals.
Previously animal charity the RSPCA criticised breeding cats like this, saying they could develop health problems later in life, repored CBBC.
