Another thing I suggested was to get a room air filter with HEPA filters to catch the cat dander. We use a vacume cleaner with HEPA filter. It's amazing how much fine dust it collects.

Depending on how severely allergic, and how much are you willing to do, you might be able to live in harmony with the cat. Maybe not...

Just a suggestion.

I have a friend that does all this with her cats as her spouse is allergic. I think it helps a little bit. But if I visit them for more than two days the asthma comes out with a vengeance. So in my case I think that it won't work. Plus, I have an elderly dog who does not tolerate cats. I think the cat would tolerate her though.

Still trying to find the tom a home before we hit the road again in a week. If I have no luck a neighbor will feed him provided that I spring for the food. She will continue the efforts to get him a home. I won't be back in this area again for months.
