This is a very common question! The short answer is "no", Maine Coon cats are not considered hypoallergenic. They do produce allergenic proteins, such as Fel d 1, which can trigger allergies in sensitive individuals. However, some people with allergies may find that they have fewer symptoms around Maine Coon cats compared to other breeds. It's always a good idea to spend time with a Maine Coon cat before bringing one into your home if you have allergies to see how you react.
