A member asked:

I love cats and really want to adopt one but i'm allergic. is there a good allergy medicine i can take so i can get one?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Allergy shots: Allergy medications will not take you a long way if you want to live with a cat. I suggest you see an allergist, get tested then get allergy shots for cats before you get one.
