No breed removes the allergen, including the Mau
The honest answer is no — not reliably. Cat allergy is usually a reaction to Fel d 1, a protein found in saliva, skin glands, and dander. Every cat produces it, including the Egyptian Mau, and because cats groom constantly, the protein coats the hair whatever its length. A Mau's short, fine coat may carry less loose hair onto sofas and clothing than a Persian's, which can reduce background exposure a little, but it does not make the cat safe for a person with a significant allergy. Any breeder marketing Maus as hypoallergenic is selling a claim the biology does not support.
Why individual cats still differ
Allergen output varies between individual cats, and it can vary with age and neutering status, which is why one allergic person copes with a particular cat while reacting badly to another of the same breed. That variation is an argument for testing with the actual animal, not for trusting the breed name. Visit the breeder or rescue several times, spend at least an hour handling and sitting close to the cats, and if possible arrange a foster or trial period in your own home, where soft furnishings and carpets hold allergen differently from a cattery. A single sneeze-free afternoon visit proves very little.
Talk to a clinician before you talk yourself into it
If allergies are part of your household, get proper advice first. An allergist can test what you actually react to, explain management options, and help you judge whether living with any cat is sensible for your level of reaction, including asthma considerations that go well beyond sneezing. Reactions can also build with continuous exposure, so a plan that works in week one needs reviewing honestly in month three. Walking away from a Mau you have fallen for is painful, but committing and then having to rehome the cat is harder on everyone, the cat included.
If a trial works, management is a daily system
Households that succeed usually combine several habits: hard floors or diligently vacuumed carpets, washing hands after handling, keeping the cat out of the allergic person's bedroom and off their pillow, regular grooming of the cat in a ventilated space, and cleaning litter and bedding frequently. The Mau's athletic, interactive nature helps here — play sessions satisfy the cat without constant lap contact on days when symptoms flare. None of this eliminates allergen; together it can lower exposure enough for some mildly allergic owners, under medical guidance.
Keeping the routine that worked, documented
If you find a Mau you can live with, the grooming frequency, bedroom rule, and cleaning rhythm that made it work become part of that cat's care record, not folklore the next owner or sitter has to rediscover. Record them in the profile when the cat comes home. Should the cat ever move on, KinsLe Transferrable Profiles passes that grooming routine and health history to the new owner with the profile, so a system built carefully around allergies is not lost in the transfer.
