A member asked:
I'm worried because my step dad has athsma and is allergic to cats, but, what do you suggest?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Evaluation: Go see a doctor to figure out how severe his asthma and allergy to cats is. It's likely that his asthma and allergy can be treated with daily medications to control his symptoms. I myself have allergy to dogs but does that stop me from having 2? Absolutely not, with the clearance of my doctor! Hope this helps!
