Many of us have picky eaters, but I don't know of anyone whose cat refuses ALL food.  How has he lived for an entire year without eating?  Is this something new?  What did he eat before?  You said the VET said he is a "little bit allergic"  To what?  Normally being allergic to food doesn't even stop a cat from eating it, because the cat doesn't know he's allergic, so he continues to eat it and doesn't realize that's the problem.  Picky cats doesn't eat because they don't like the smell or taste or texture of some foods.

The key to getting a cat to eat is to find something they like.  That means you need to keep trying different foods until you find something he he will eat.  And try using toppers on the food too.  This article isn't exactly apropro, but it contains information in it about the use of toppers, etc, that you might find helpful:  http://www.thecatsite.com/a/transit...-to-a-new-type-of-food-canned-raw-or-homemade
