Answer 1

First of all, go see an allergist. He will do allergy testing to make sure you're allergic to cats and not something else. Then you can get antihistimines to help with the sneezing, but most likely these will not completely take care of the problem. You can start immonotherapy which are allergy shots that you will get 2-3 times a week most likely, at your allergist's office. The best plan is to get rid of the cats, however if you must live with them, there are some things you can do to ease your symptoms, (from the Allergies and Asthma Foundation website)

Because animal allergens are sticky, you must remove the animal's favorite furniture, remove wall-to-wall carpet and scrub the walls and woodwork. Keep surfaces throughout the home clean and uncluttered. Bare floors and walls are best.

If you must have carpet, select ones with a low pile and steam clean them frequently. Better yet, use throw rugs that can be washed in hot water.

Wear a dust mask to vacuum. Vacuum cleaners stir up allergens that have settled on carpet and make allergies worse. Use a vacuum with a HEPA (high efficiency particulate air) filter if possible.

Forced-air heating and air-conditioning can spread allergens through the house. Cover bedroom vents with dense filtering material like cheesecloth.

Adding an air cleaner with a HEPA filter to central heating and air conditioning can help remove pet allergens from the air. The air cleaner should be used at least four hours per day. Another type of air cleaner that has an electrostatic filter will remove particles the size of animal allergens from the air. No air cleaner or filter will remove allergens stuck to surfaces, though. (See the Asthma and Allergy Answer factsheet on, "Air Filters.")

Washing the pet every week may reduce airborne allergens, but is of questionable value in reducing a person's symptoms.

Have someone without a pet allergy brush the pet outside to remove dander as well as clean the litter box or cage.

Answer 2

I am allergic to my cats, but I choose to keep them. My allegist has told me in no terms to ever let them in my room--particularly in my bed. There are products that you can get at the petstore to decrease the dander (what causes the allergies symptoms). I've seen products that you wipe over the fur.
Vacuum frequently and wipe down the floors.
If you pet the cats, wash your hands.
The only way that a doctor will give you shots is if you go through a series of allergy tests and determine that you have multiple allergens.
The good thing..is your body actually gets used to the dander after a while and you won't sneeze as much. But, my best advise is to keep away if you don't want to sneeze

Answer 3

The Best you can do, beings you can't get away from the cats, would be to go to an allergy specialist. They will run tests on you and find out what all you are sensitive to, and give you a series of shots to DE-sanitize you're system from them.
And f.y.i., people are more prone to be allergic to short haired and, dark haired cats than any of the others.good luck!

Answer 4

Allergy shots will help a lot, but they may take up to two years to start working.
