This is a fully illustrated page on Allerca cats from LIFESTYLE PETS Inc. They are controversial. The controversy has died down over the years. These cats are not registered cat breeds. There is a ready-made market for hypoallergenic cats because 10% of the population are allergic to cats. The premier, top of the range Allerca cat is an F1 Savannah (see below).
Update: this page was written at the height of the controversy surrounding this ‘product’ in about 2008. It is now 2021 and the business went bust some time ago.
Notice: the page is divided into a few sections for speed of loading and to meet SEO demands. There is a link below each page taking you to the next.

Allerca Cats – The Ashera GD cat © LIFESTYLE PETS Inc.
All the photographs on this page are reproduced with the permission of LIFESTYLE PETS Inc. with my gratitude and are © LIFESTYLE PETS Inc. ALLERCA is part of LIFESTYLE PETS Inc. I have built a page about Allerca Cats because the Ashera Cat is possibly the best-looking cat worldwide, is of interest to the public and the photographs are very high quality. I am not affiliated to LifeStyle Pets.
The Ashera GD cat is one of three breeds or type of cat produced by the company Lifestyle Pets. The others are the Allerca GD and the Chakan GD. “GD” stands for “genetic divergences”. Genetic divergences mean the process whereby a species evolves (diverges) into more than one species. The GD cats are hypoallergenic. The Ashera is also bred in non-hypoallergenic form. I shall take that as meaning that Lifestyle Pets have developed a cat that is hypoallergenic and a new breed (although unrecognized by cat associations) and in doing so have mirrored divergences in the natural world.
Note: I am fully aware of the fact that a lot of Savannah cat breeders and other people argue that the Ashera is a Savannah cat. I refer to this below. I only report what I read and see. When I have firm evidence that an Ashera is a Savannah, I’ll publish it (see update below). On the basis that the Savannah cat is not hypoallergenic; if an Ashera is a hypoallergenic Savannah, the Ashera is then not a Savannah. So, the evidence I need is that the Ashera GD is not hypoallergenic. I haven’t seen that evidence yet.
Also, I have not heard anything concrete stating that the other Life Style Pets Inc. Allerca cats (the original Allerca cat) are not hypoallergenic.
Update 18th May 2010: I now have firm evidence from the inside that the Ashera GD is a Savannah cat. But and here is the fun part, the Savannah cat is hypoallergenic. This is why the concept works for LifeStyle pets in relation to their top of the range cat. The Ashera GD must be an F1 Savannah cat.

I am skeptical. Would you like to link to the source where it claims F1 Savannah is hypoallergic? Thank you.
In one of your article: Kathrin Stucki, a breeder of Savannahs ”thinks” her cats are hypoallergenic. Should we believe her because she says so? Aren’t these the same claims we have heard from Siberian breeders? Since when anecdotes are counted as evidence?
Still your article appears like ”promoting” Simon Brodie failed business idea (It seems people are going to miss the part ”update”), I hope you are planning to edit someday.
Kind Regards
Micheal, its an old article but I would recommend to update it anyway.
Allerca (Lifestyle pets) is a SCAM -pure and simple SCAM. All lies not only about Ashera- Savannah but also hypoallergic cats which don’t exist.
A company and its owner Simon Brodie is out of business, but BS dies hard! Don’t be one of these examples of uncritical sources!

I think I have dealt with this. If you read the Update 18th May 2010 at the top of the page. There is some evidence that the F1 Savannah is somewhat hypoallergenic and the Ashera GD is an F1 Savannah. As for the other LifeStyle Pet cats they must be a scam. But no one has come forward to positively say that the cats are not hypoallergenic.
Interesting.
Agreed completely.
Loving family and declawing don’t belong in the same sentence. I suggest you investigate exactly what happens during the amputation process, because that’s exactly what declawing is. The information is right here on this website

WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A FEMALE to have a ligth carmel golden COLOR with green or blue eyes. yes i do NEED it to be declawed. MY husband tends to bleed easily from his high blood pressure..
WE ARE A LOVING FAMIY.
PLEASE KEEP US INFORM.
THANK-YOU FOR YOUR TIME

Why not go to a Rescue Shelter and adopt an already declawed cat? Surely you know that declawing is the amputation of the cats ten last toe joints, if you do know that and still think it’s acceptable to have yet another poor helpless cat mutilated then I suggest you get a soft toy instead of a living breathing feeling animal.
You are not a loving family, in my opinion you are not in fact fit to ‘own’ a cat because you don’t care about cats, you specify what the cat must be like, you demand he/she is declawed.
Given those facts I’d say any cat would be very unlucky to live in your ‘loving family’
Hear, hear, Ruth.
the truth
Ruth, I know this is an old post, but one that I’d like to SHARE on Facebook. Is there anyway you can tell me where to get it?
Thanks!
Sandy
Hi Sandy, All Ruth’s posters (130) are on the group we founded ‘The International Coalition Against Declawing’ on facebook, you would be most welcome to join and help us save claws by sharing them to educate people who don’t know the truth about declawing.
If you are not on facebook you can email Ruth at Catlover715-feline@yahoo.co.uk

It could be possible to teach a cat not to scratch you.
Yes, I agree wholeheartedly.
