Best-matched service
Generally yes. They are gentle and sociable, though children should be taught to stroke softly and let the cat choose when to be picked up.
Typically less than many breeds, though shedding varies between individuals and through the seasons. No cat is allergy-free, so spend time with the breed first if allergies are a concern.
Short absences are usually fine, but LaPerms are people-oriented and can get lonely. A second cat or a midday visit from a sitter helps.
