I'd take an inside-out snake if it were hypoallergenic. Doesn't matter, still a cat!

Yeah, some breeds are known to produce less of the proteins that people are allergic to, but it's not a non-zero amount. If I were the one who was allergic, it'd be a different story, but I don't think it wouldn't be very fair for me to inflict a cat on someone who is allergic and not a cat lover in the first place, even if it's going to produce less of an allergic reaction than a different cat would.
For a while there was some company working on genetically engineering cats that produced none of the allergenic protein, but I think they went out of business.
