I've had allergies since i was 5 (before we had cats) i'm now 18 &have been allergic to cats &dogs since, is it possible i could grow out of them?

Doubtful: It is highly unlikely that you will "grow out" of your allergy at age 18. However if you have dogs or cats and can get rid of them, then your symptoms may well improve.
