Avoid, Treat, Shots: 1) avoid cats 2) treat the symptoms of the allergy with antihistamines 3) an allergist can test you for various allergies and formulate allergy shots (immunotherapy) that will slowly build up your immune system's responce to those allergens (tolerance) over time (years). Cat allergy responds well to this therapy, when given by a properly trained allergist that follows the acaai/aaaai guidelines.

Allergy shots: If you live with a cat, you should consider allergy shots. Medications such as antihistamines and nasal sprays help to an extent, but your symptoms may progress. Allergy shots to cat dander are 95% effective and provide you long term relief, consult a board certified allergist.
