SIBERIAN vs ALLERCA kitten?

Question

Well you guys have heard of the hypo allergenic ALLERCA cats, and they do something to the cats to get them this way. They cost $3500-$7000

But I researched natural SIBERIAN cat and they have the no to little Fel D1 protein, and they come from russia,and they are not changed in any way. These are great cats, $300-$700 and most allergic people don't react to this cat!!

So, would you rather buy an Allerca or Siberian cat?

I'm getting the real cat ;D

Additional Details

Dang, just regular cats? Wow, thats a lot to pay for the gender of a cat and color you don't know of..

Oh their site is such BULL! I saw the "FAQ's" and they don't allow you to test if you have an allergy to the cat or not... to have "disease free fascilities"

Most of the Siberian breeders(me being one of them) feel that based on the history of Simon Brodie being a less-than-honorable person, that he started his Allerca cat line with Siberians. He denies it of course but we all know better. He saw an opportunity to *rake the public over the coals* and he did just that.

We asked it we could do some genetic testing on his cats and he declined (of course he did)

Answer 2

I would choose the Siberian cat because it's natural and less expensive. Also, they haven't came from a place that they've been experimented on and will probably live longer than the Allerca cat.

Answer 3

I've been researching the Allerca kittens. Not because I want another cat but because I'm curious.

First of all, the person in charge of Allerca has a history of financial and legal problems. He's constantly starting companies, not paying the bills or taxes and getting in serious trouble.

Second of all, they don't even let you pick the color of gender of the cat. They just automatically send one to the next person on the list. They put them in a crate in an airplane.

Thirdly, $5,950 plus $995 "processing" is outrageous for normally bred cats. They are not genetically modified or anything, just bred like any other pure bred cat.
