My girlfriend and I want to adopt a cat but she's allergic to cats. Her symptoms around cats include: puffy eyes, itching eyes and sneezing. We were thinking about going to an allergist to get her shots but found out that the shots aren't guaranteed to work. We've seen some tips online but not sure if they'll work. We would hate to adopt a cat just for my girlfriend to be severely allergic to it and can't do anything about it.
When she takes Zyrtec she doesn't have any symptoms around cats, but I've heard that after time the Zyrtec won't be affective. I've also heard to get a purifier, put cat on raw food diet, bathe the cat with special shampoo, and clean everything (inside house) atleast once per week.
Do you think these tips are good enough to get a cat or should we just avoid getting one all together?
