Are they a breed that humans can be allergic to?

I would like to know if a person who is allergic to other cats would be allergic to a Maine Coon? Thank you

There is no such thing as a hypoallergenic cat so don't be fooled into buying any particular breed if that "guarantee" is given. The ONLY way to tell if you are going to be allergic is to spend time with the SPECIFIC cat you are interested in acquiring. You may find that you are allergic to some Maine Coons but not to others. It is not possible to say that you will or will not be allergic to Maine Coons. You can only tell by being with the PARTICULAR cat you want.
