Bald cat?

Do you mean a Sphynx?

It is a very rare breed. They are also very difficult to take care of.

Their lack of hair results in increased body oils. Regular bathing is often necessary. Care should be taken to limit the Sphynx cat's exposure to outdoor sunlight at length, as they can develop a sunburn, similar to that of human exposure. In general, Sphynx cats should never be allowed outdoors unattended, as they have limited means to conserve body heat in colder temperatures.

I would expect to pay at least $1,000. Plus shipping, which will likely be necessary (and can be quite stressful on the animal).

The allergen isn't the fur... it's a protein in the saliva. It's just associated with their fur because of how they groom. You can still have allergies to a furless cat.

A better choice for you might actually be the hypo allergenic cats..

No no... I'm serious.
