Donskoy Cats are a breed of Russian Hairless Cat. The Donskoy isn’t related to the Sphynx, though the two share the same hairless appearance. A recessive Keratin 71 genetic mutation causes the Donskoy’s unique appearance. The Donskoy, though it looks mean, is actually very friendly and affectionate. It is very rare for one to bite or scratch a human.

These cats can be large, weighing up to fifteen pounds. As you might imagine, they are hypoallergenic, shedding little-to-no dander or hair. If you have cat allergies but want a cat anyway, the Donskoy might be the cat for you.
