Seriously, he is my little love muffin and I can't stand to think Tito would be in a worse place. If I can't give him love for a couple of years then I'd love to give him an eternity of peace and warmth.

Why don't you just take allergy pills? I'm allergic to everything under the sun but I have 3 dogs and 3 cats. I took allergy pills for a few years, then apparently I built up a tolerance and they don't bother me any more. The pet store should also have these great wipes that you can use to wipe down your cat once a day to reduce the allergins. If you really love your cat, you can find a way to limit the effect of the allergies.
Some vets will euthanize your pet, though I'm sure they won't have anything nice to say about you once you leave. However, why not check into one of your area's no kill shelters or cat rescues first? If you are willing to sponsor some of Tito's expenses while they locate an excellent home for him, I'm sure they'd be willing to take him in. They screen homes heavily and he would go to a good home.
Try to control the allergies first though. Lots of pet owners deal with allergies in order to keep their pets.

No, there isn't. Is there a medical doctor anywhere? They would probably have the appropriate medication, and you could put them in consult with the vet for dosage, etc. It's not unheard of for a medical doctor to help in a dire situation where a vet is unavailable, so it's at least worth calling around. Please don't try to euthanize your cat at home. Any number of things could go wrong that might lead to great suffering for the cat.

Why don't you try to work on your allergies??? There are plenty of options available through prescription and OTC. You could even get allergy shots, which would help with all of your allergies.
If you are allergic to cats, why did you get a cat in the first place??? If you really mean 'he is my little love muffin' euthanasia never would have crossed your mind. The only thing your vet should do is take the cat away from you. If your vet would agree to put your cat down, he/she is very unethical.

You sure you allergic to the cat? Some people can be allergic to flea collars if it has a flea collar ditch it and get some Revolution. No self respecting vet will euthanize a health cat. Most animal hospitals run adoption programs for unwanted cats. Euthanisation is only recommended for dangerous and terminally ill pets.

Did a doctor tell you that you need to get rid of your cat? If so, I strongly advise you to look for a different doctor, preferably an allergist, who understands the importance of your attachment to your cat and who is willing to work with you to help you feel better WITHOUT getting rid of your cat.
There are a lot of things you can do to reduce your allergic response and the cat's potential to bother your allergies.
First, get tested to see if it really is the cat causing the problem. It's possible it's another household allergy.
If it is the cat, you can cut down on your reaction to it and to other common home allergens - use an air filter, vacuum frequently with a HEPA vacuum, use allergy bedding covers, and wash your bedding frequently, and minimize the amount of carpeting in your home - hard floors are much better for people with allergies.
Wash your hands after handling the cat & before touching your face.
See your doctor about getting allergy shots, and using prescription or OTC meds to control your symptoms
Keep the cat out of your bedroom.
Bathe the cat: A cat only needs to be rinsed thoroughly with warm water once a month to cut down on allergens. Trim the cat's claws. http://www.catscratching.com/#trimming
Fill one side of your kitchen sink up with warm water. Get a big plastic cup to rinse the cat with. Put a rubber mat in the other empty side of your sink. Get a couple of warm dry towels and place them nearby. Put the cat in the empty side of the sink and pet it and talk to it softly. Pour cupfuls of warm water gently over the cat as you talk to it and pet it to keep it calm, but don't pour water over the face or ears - you can use a damp washcloth for those parts. Using cupfuls of water is much less stressful to the cat than the noise of running water or trying to immerse it in a sink of water. After the cat has been thoroughly rinsed, use your hands to gently squeeze off the excess water, and then use the towels to gently dry your cat. Give it another towel to sit on near somewhere warm, such as in a sunbeam or near (but not too close to) a heater, so it can finish drying off.
In between baths, you can use cat wipes from the pet store to cut down on dander.
Good luck!

I had my cat for two years when I found out about my allergy. Not just to animal hairs... I had her for 15 years and I will have cat again for sure.
You just have to start taking some allergy remedy, not kill the cat!! And if that won't help, then find another home for poor cat. Don't be so selfish.

Some vets may. I was a vet tech for three years and our vets would not unless there was something wrong with the animal.
I would suggest trying to find him a home or seek out a no kill shelter in your area. I'm sure someone is out there that would love him as much as you do. Good Luck and keep your chin up!

don't euthanize your cat. i too am allergic to my cat but spending 10 bucks every two weeks on a box of cleratin is a lot better than loosing a family member. try cleratin-it works. don't get rid of your cat, instead focus on your allergies. otherwise, put an ad up for adoption in your local paper and you can choose what family will care for your cat as much as you did. but please, don't euthanize him.

I don't think a vet could do anything, but you could take some allergy medicine. If you have a friend, aunt, uncle, or cousins, you could give your cat away to them. OR, you could give the cat as an adoption.

Go to Petfinder at http://www.petfinder.com and click on Shelters & Rescue Groups. Find a rescue group in your area. They will place Tito in a foster home until they can place him in a good forever home.
