A Swiss company called HypoPet has developed a new vaccine for cats to decrease their allergic impact. Click through to read more.
Cat people, rejoice: A new vaccine is in development that aims to significantly reduce symptoms brought on by allergies to fluffy felines. This isn’t just good news for everyone who wants to curl up with a pack of kittens; it’s even better news for cats themselves.
Despite all the #caturday photos we scroll through on Instagram on the daily, allergies are still one of the leading reasons cats are abandoned worldwide. Having a product like this available for cat parents would mean not only are fewer animals abandoned, but even more could find purrfect furever homes with parents who aren’t sniffling, sneezing, or scratching rashes all day long.
“Of the 3.4 million cats abandoned annually to U.S cat shelters, approximately 1.4 million of these animals are euthanized,” reports the Swiss company behind the potential vaccine, HypoPet, in a statement.After multiple clinical trials involving more than 50 cats, the scientists at HypoPet determined vaccinating cats will allow them to produce higher levels of the antibodies needed to reduce their allergic impact.
Dr. Gary Jennings, CEO of HypoPet AG, said the HypoCat vaccine will hopefully be on the U.S. market soon. And when it is, dog people everywhere will just have to wait their turn.
