[@applestrudeldoo7645]

Yeah, I’ve also read that levels of the protein we’re allergic to are specific to individual cats not breeds, so it’s really a roll of the dice.

[@spookyfirkser]

I'll warn anyone that exposure to allergens most often makes allergies worse, not better! The best thing to do is go hang out with individual cats for like a half hour, go home, and see how you feel the next couple hours. I was the adoption counselor for a rescue, and this is something we did often for folks with allergy concerns, for both cats and dogs. We'd have families looking for a pet for over a year, and come in every couple weeks to meet a new animal, and sometimes, after months of trying, we'd end up sending them home with a pit bull (a breed to which folks with allergies are often VERY sensitive) who, for whatever reason, didn't trigger someone's allergies. I also usually recommend that folks with allergies look only at adult animals, as the structure and components of an animal's skin can change during puberty, and you might not be allergic to little Cream Cheese Icebox , Esq., the cat, when you adopt him at 12 weeks old, but suddenly Cream Cheese Icebox, Esq. (who you remaned Marvin because when Cream Cheese Icebox, Esq. arrived at the shelter, the staff were just having *too* boring a day) is 6 months old and your nose starts running if you so much as look at a picture of him.

[@skittykay]

If you want to adopt a specific kind of cat, you could look for rescue societies for that specific breed in your area. It'll be difficult though, breed culture around cats isn't the same as it is around dogs.

[@heatherwild2627]

what do you mean?

[@skittykay]

@@heatherwild2627 there's a couple of factors, I'd say starting with; the history of breeding cats and dogs is very different. Selectively breeding dogs goes back tens of thousands of years, while most recognized cat breeds were only starting to be bred less than 100 years ago. Another factor (and someone what related to the last) is there's just way more stray and feral cats in the world than there are dogs, and they breed faster and more often, so even if there was a purebred cat that was breeding in the wild, the chance of one of their offspring making its way back into the shelter system and still having a recognizable breed is so, so low. That's a reason why people Nick was talking to had no idea about the breed, because its not an easy thing to discern from a stray cat like it might be for a lot of dogs.

[@hadleycornelious434]

If you contact some breeders you can adopt retired cats sometimes, it’s not rescuing a cat exactly but it’s better than getting a kitten! Or there are a few purebred adoption websites that require people to have the original paperwork from their cats!

[@mrmeowingtonw]

omg if you get a cat research cat psychology and body language i learnt so much, my cat used to hate me and he loves me now. the main things i've learnt are: - cats greet each other by booping noses, so slowly bring your relaxed knuckle toward their nose (make sure you don't put your hand in front of their eyes) and it'll boop your knuckle, if it moves away from your knuckle you're either being too fast or it's uncomfortable. -the best place to pet it is in between it's "eyebrows" -when it lays on it's back and exposes it's tummy it is *not* an invitation to rub it's tummy, from that position the cat can easily grab on to you with it's arms and legs and bite you. most cats that i have met do not like tummy rubs but it varies from cat to cat. -if a cat is purring it may feel ill or tired, if it comes up to you and purrs it has probably noticed that you are upset or tired and is "recharging" with you

[@hayley58]

hey nick, dont be afraid to reach out to a cattery (cat breeder)! rescue cats are fantastic but the VAST majority of them have no specific breed lineage, unless they were purposely bred, so it is extremely hard to predict how your allergies will react to them. supporting ethical breeders (who work to better the breed, do extensive health testing, etc) is great for the cat population and you would be able to speak to someone who is extremely knowledgeable about the cats they produce so you would know exactly what you're getting. reputable breeders don't contribute to the population of cats in shelters because they are always willing to take their cats back if something happens and they can no longer stay with their owners!

[@greenisnotnick]

this is very helpful, thank you!!!

[@gypsylee333]

@@greenisnotnick I concur, you're not going to be able to adopt a high quality cat most likely, it's pretty rare to find those cats since they're so high demand. Just spend a little time online looking into online breeders, look for a breeder that has 10 females or less in my opinion, they have more time to handle the kitten when young and less likely to be some sketchy mill, and trust your instincts!

[@jess-mx]

Okay I have got some tips for your cat adoption struggles... 1. Expensive breeds like the ones you listed don't normally end up in shelter. But in the instances when they do, the shelter will likely not advertise it because it would attract people who just want the cat for status or as a prop and not as a real pet. They tend to do those adoptions behind the scenes with good pet owners who have adopted from them in the past. 2. Just adopt ANY cat you click with. Your allergies are more than likely to fade over time as your immune system gets used to the dander. For most people it's a couple weeks. I'm allergic to all cats but my own because I live with him. Eventually you spend enough time with them and you'll be fine. Obviously there are exceptions to this but I have never seen someone who hasn't lost or at least decreased their symptoms of allergies a few weeks after adoption My source is that I have volunteered at my local animal shelter for a few years. I am proud of the work we do and the selectiveness we take in picking owners for our shelter babies.

For cats - purebred cats are quite rare (especially when compared to purebred dogs) and it's very unlikely to find them in rescues as breeders tend to be very diligent about choosing potential buyers. It may come down to contacting a couple rescues and asking to be notified if they get any of the breeds you want. However, your best shot to get a purebred cat is to go to a breeder or find a re-home - like a retired queen or retired show cat etc. Good luck!

I have a Siberian cat and she is. so wonderful. Fluffy and cute and cuddly. She has a lot of dog like tendencies. Every now and again there's some that get put up for adoption on that pet finder site pretty much everywhere. You see a lot of them being cross bred and I have heard that it can work though allergies might be wild for a month or two. Even with a purebred allergies might take a week or two to calm down like it did with my roomie. You just kinda got to feel it out sometimes. Also putting a hepa filter on a box fan can really help all allergies across the board that might be in your house and they also sell these wipes you can use on your cat every few days that can reduce the allergens they shed via saliva and dander.

[@SonicluNerdGamer]

Nick, as someone who has 2 cats at the moment, and had a few more, I can tell you thay if your objective is to cuddle with the cat, it's pretty much like playing blackjack, and the cat being a cuddle enjoyer is like hitting a 21, a little less rare than getting a blackjack that would be a cat that enjoys baths.

[@jess-mx]

Dude it totally depends on the cat. They all have different personalities and moods. Some are as cuddly and needy as dogs, others hide from strangers, and others fall somewhere in between. Don't generalize. To those looking to adopt, don't be afraid to give a shy cat a chance, they can open up once they realize that they won't have to go back to living in a small cage

[@emilymogilner8062]

If you're looking to adopt, it's going to be hard to know for certain if it's purebred. Technically the only way to know is if there is documentation from the breeder certifying it as a purebred and you're not really going to be able to find one of those in a shelter. My cat is a partial siamese which can be one of the easier breeds to identify depending on if you know what you're looking for (there are tuxedo siamese cats so it's not always super clear). Most people aren't allergic to her. Some have gotten a reaction. It's going to depend on person to person even if you do find a cat that produces little fel d1 protein. I had to drive about two hours south of Chicago to pick her up so you might need to broaden your search area. It'll be easier to look for cats that have really identifiable features. It'll be hard to tell a Siberian or Russian blue from other cats that just look like them. I also wouldn't recommend a Bengal. There's probably close to 0% chance you'll find one in a shelter and I don't find them to be particularly ethical. It's also important to keep in mind that a purebred cat is going to have more predisposition to health problems.

[@app1escruff]

Hey, Nick. I live about 20 minutes from Chicago in northwest Indiana and I worked at my local humane society for several years until recently. I’d recommend looking for independent rescues/foster networks (there are a ton in the city but I don’t know any by name), because they tend to have more information about the cats in their care and more time to spend working with potential adopters. Most of those rescues are run by volunteers, and they’re usually easiest to reach on social media (mainly Facebook/Instagram). I’ve spoken to plenty of people in your situation before and unfortunately it’s very expensive to DNA test cats/dogs in order to determine their breed, and shelters just can’t afford to do that. Pretty much any shelter that does specify an animal’s breed is only guessing based on physical characteristics, which can be really unreliable anyway. Based on my experience, you’ll only really know if a cat will irritate your allergies after meeting it in person.

[@app1escruff]

To be clear, shelters are great places to adopt from and they need adopters desperately, I just know how difficult it can be for them to accommodate people with more specific needs because their staff are usually stretched so thin and they have larger animal populations.

[@skimpenguin]

[@JeddieMPB]

that person that you contacted was right about not wanting to adopt out single kittens, though. Having just one kitten instead of two leaves them without a companion to play with or to keep them company while you are busy or out of the apartment. it’s better for their health (and you as the owner because they’ll be less destructive as a pair than alone) to get two kittens if you’re going the kitten route!

[@LitleStarshine]

I had bad allergies when we first got a cat, fast forward to 14 years later and she sleeps next to my face with no problem! For quite some time we kept the cat out of the bedrooms but stopped that too. Allergy meds go a long way! (now, for some dogs I'm so allergic that I wouldn't even try to get immune, but with cats it was just stuffy nose and irritated eyes mostly) (also i was 8 when we first got the cat so I'm sure that made it easier but still wanted to share my experience)

[@LitleStarshine]

[@roadsplat6394]

Consider getting the breed you're looking for from a reputable breeder. Their animals don't enter the shelter system so you aren't contributing, their cats will have extensive health testing done that you won't get in a shelter cat or a poorly bred purebred, and you get a lifetime of support from the breeder. CFA and TICA can both help you find a breeder if you email them.

I have cat allergies and I have a Maine Coon and don't have any problems with her!! I can cuddle her and kiss the top of her head with no issues.

[@blueserenity7]

Speaking from experience, the cat thing kind of depends on the severity of your allergies. There is no such thing as a truly hypoallergenic cat, just ones that supposedly give off lower levels of allergens than others. So if the allergy is mild, looking for a specific breed may be enough to tolerate sharing a space with a cat long-term, but an allergist would definitely recommend that you don't let the cat into the room you sleep in and try to eliminate or minimize the amount of carpeting you have in the house. For me, I can't imagine any breed that I could have tolerated being around for more than a few hours without having a very bad reaction, so I chose the immunotherapy route, if only to make visiting my friends who have cats easier. (Was also very allergic to dogs so even more incentive.) It's a long process and definitely something you wanna have health insurance cover part of, but I'd imagine it would make the experience of owning and caring for a cat much more enjoyable!

[@blueserenity7]

There are also a number of people commenting that they managed to grow out of animal allergies through long-term exposure in their houses. And while that's all good and well for those people, that's kind of an anecdotal/chance-based experience. I wouldn't recommend that to someone without knowing their allergy history/severity, because if it backfires, it could make the allergies worse and shuffle the cat into another home unnecessarily. A number of people in my life have tried to recommend that methodology to me, or tried to convince me that I would be fine around their pet because so-and-so with bad allergies was also fine around it. And well...I wasn't! 😬

Allergies are weird, bc decades later I have severe reactions to horses and cats and mild reactions to certain dog breeds. So severe I get asthma (which I never had as a kid). I’ve heard the Xolo, the Mexican hairless dog is great for allergies, and they are amazing looking! The only cat that doesn’t bother me is Russian blue.

im sorry but nick is so cute like the part where he was like "this could be a meme!" and also at 6:36 when he explained how he was gonna edit the air punching to make it seem like he was beating the shit out of an invisible man very cute i like his big pants and glasses👍

[@AveryTalksAboutStuff]

I feel like this is exactly how you get more tik toks 😂

[@brooke6546]

I have a Devon Rex and I got a retired breeding girl and my dad and brother who are both allergic to regular cats only have minor reactions!! Definitely recommend doing a retired breeding cat if you want to help but also know the exact breed!!

[@pinguiin6538]

that second tiktok scarred me for life

[@sapphinese]

I love that half of the video is him trying to climb out of his enclosure. Nick, punch twice if you need help.

[@Lesiosaurus]

I have a cat tip, ALWAYS let your cat sniff your hand before you pet them, this lets them “double check” it’s you and makes them feel safer and less surprised.

[@NepsaGniworg]

Nick 1 week ago: I want a cat 😔 Nick now: 🐱🙂

[@jordanrayne4779]

Its so cute he has that cute little wheel for bambi to run in and the little meows every now and again are great

[@Selkisaura]

5:46 That's the lady who is always on my Facebook video page against my will.

[@melodyhaviland9393]

i always feel so cool when tiktoks in these videos are on my fyp

[@arigomez6807]

I have bad cat allergies and I’ve had a tabby cat my whole life and my allergies were always horrible around her but I just adopted a Korat (similar to a Russian Blue) and my partner and I haven’t had any allergic reactions around her!

[@gypsylee333]

I found my Bengal cat online, the seller was in a different state and they Ushipped him to me. They are more high energy than an average cat though, they can be a handful but he's so smart and affectionate and beautiful, I wouldn't trade him.

[@victoriatropeano6625]

some people are actually allergic to cat saliva not hair but they bathe themselves with their tongue so ya know but there’s a certain kind of food you can give to any cat and it should reduce if not fix your allergy

[@LessTh3nThree]

“I didn’t even know that was allowed” bro me neither 🤧🤧

[@oliviafrazier3596]

The dude with his sister when ppl ask of he has a sibling: "Yeah sure, hold on" *shakes the embryo in your face*

[@nhnate6356]

The punch form and all is killer

[@Mmc.879]

Not the "🤚My doctor prescribed them." 💀

[@emberhayward7989]

You earned my like in the first thirty seconds. My kind of indecisive humour 👏

[@cats1970]

My best friend has a Norwegian Forest Cat. Extremely fluffy, zero allergic response from me! My mom still had it bad though so it depends on the person. I was very allergic to a Russian Blue while others aren’t ☺️🌸

[@techne360]

Took me months to find a kitty but I'm so glad I did. Good luck to you! Also you can have just one cat, idk what those people were saying. You just have to adopt them a little bit older than a kitten. I got my boy at 6 months and he's done great on his own.

[@megapiglatin2574]

I'm guessing it's a combination of kittens tending to do better with other kittens of a similar age (they can entertain each other and teach each other important life skills like bite/claw inhibition, etc.,) AND many shelters being practically overrun with kittens during the warmer months trying to get as many cats adopted out as possible.

[@K9Kungfu]

Also supporting ethical breeders is 1000% OKAY. the "Adopt don't shop" was started by PETA. It's people that backyard breed these kittens (who it sounds like you're talking too) you SHOULD not be talking too. It's worth the money to get a health tested and wed bred kitty.

[@annika8674]

Okay THANK YOUUUU!!!! I had no idea peta started that… makes so much sense now.

[@jess-mx]

As an animal shelter volunteer, my motto is adopt or shop ethically. However you'd be surprised how many established breeders aren't as ethical as they should be. Be wary of purebread, breeders often resort to incest. Do your thorough research on the breeder and you're good

[@K9Kungfu]

@@jess-mx this is why I said ethical. Nick is presumably looking for a hypoallergenic cat which he will have great difficulty looking for. Ethical breeders take their animals back as opposed to let them go to shelter in the first place. I got my last dog from a shelter and she died at age 5 due to health reasons. I don't regret it, but I'm not getting an animal whose health history I don't have because they come from unknown lineage. Also all purebred animals had to have some form of line breeding as some point. Again, notice how I said "health tested and well bred." Further more, a lot of rescues and shelters are extremely unethical but I don't think most people are ready for that conversation. Retail rescue.

[@jess-mx]

@@K9Kungfu yeah dude I was agreeing with you

[@maryrose2945]

Yes!!! Just do your research and always try to meet with the breeder before you decide to adopt from them

[@Lunar_DeBrie]

Dude having a cat with allergies is so valid! It's high maintenance, but so worth it

[@BigDawgStatusIV]

The other day Nick used my name in a video. This time he’s wearing a shirt from the city I got married in. FREAKY

[@smallaxolotl8000]

Hey! Was a allergic big time to my cat. Got 4 appointments at a bioresonance therapy guy, just had to bring her hair and saliva and it's gone now. A game changer if you wanna avoid meds

[@smallaxolotl8000]

This works for any animal really but only this animal in particular. They desensitise you to your cat. ✨

[@smallaxolotl8000]

Many people get rid of their animal because of allergies. I really wish more people knew about it!!!

[@smallaxolotl8000]

With that you can literally get any cat you vibed with at the shelter and not get into breeds (which is honestly animal cruelty at some level)

[@audreye9465]

I have four cats and I’ve always been allergic (and have eczema) but I don’t care. We got the brothers, they’re Maine coon mutt type beat boys. Then stinky, your classic American short hair, and boobie … the trauma kitty. She’s an ocicat and she has a beautiful coat of fur that she pulls out of her skin because she’s anxious. She’s an eighth bald and covered in scabs and snot but I love her so much and I’d kill for her. She’s my baby.

[@sourdough6653]

I got a Russian blue a few years ago and she’s the best cat I could have asked for! 😻

[@SummersPsycheDelicates]

At 4:19..... You and me both, Nick, I needed that long moment of silence to process as well 🤣But then I couldn't stop laughing for quite a bit, so I may be an awful person sorry. The shaking it up though! 🤮

[@antlerthyme]

when he said "i want a cat to brush daily" all sad HFJFHDJ

[@KC-bi9jw]

2:00 get a Siamese cat. Social, smart, and lovable, I was allergic to mine for a few weeks then I over came it and could literary my face in him without allergies.

[@charlesentertainmentcheese5301]

i love this series nick im glad ur gonna keep doing it

[@leek6068]

I have a siamese balinese baby and shes so lovely, and the allergies really subside after being around her. But honestly nicki, i still take allergy meds very often so that still might have to happen. i hope you find a lil pal

[@lengorchi8707]

My girlfriend had cat allergy, never had a pet. She moved with me and my tubby cat, her allergy worsened for about a month, but after that she was fine. I wish all allergic cat lovers to find non-allergic cat or to live past your allergy With birthday cake example… I relate 100% lol. I have nut, fruit, and berry allergies and sometimes I can’t resist the urge to eat a fruit or a chocolate with nuts. I take an anti-allergy pill first, wait for 20 minutes and eat all I can before I feel the choking grasp around my throat

[@PingP0ng.Piss_54]

I am allergic to cats too but my mom found a food brand that really reduces the allergens they put out

[@whichrobin]

NOT THE LIL HANDS WHEN HES PUNCHING THE AIR SIR DONT PUNCH SOMEONE LIKE THAT YOU GONNA BREAK YOUR FINGERS

[@bhanderwoman]

That Nick is not green challenge made me laugh so hard lmao

[@megapiglatin2574]

I fully support you on your journey to find a cat friend and the vast majority of these comments. I will also say, although I don't know your background with cats, please make sure you do plenty of research into not only the physical needs, but also the behavioral needs of your cat--especially purebreeds like the bengal. Some may be chill housecats--other have a bit more of those wild genes in them and may require more extensive prepping and catification. I, as a random internet stranger and avid cat lover, want to make sure both you and your kitty live a happy, peaceful life together! I'm also seconding the breed-specific rescues suggestion. I'll send a DM about what I found specifically.
