My partner moved in recently with his beautiful 5 year old Sib. She's the sweetest little doll and I absolutely adore her!

On previous visits to him, I would pop an Allerway and have my asthma pump ready - no issues, but I've also never spent longer than a weekend with her.

I've also spent a day at a Sib cat cafe - no allergies while there, came home, no issues either.

I've added Purina One Live Clear to her diet for a week now.

Our place is a studio ground floor apartment so a no cat zone isn't possible.

I am looking into getting a Hepa filter as well.

I am concerned though, I am intensely allergic to cats. At the moment, I can't breathe very well due to my asthma being aggravated and using the pump 4 or 5 times a day. Last night eye got so itchy, it basically looked like I was socked, I couldn't open it. I have horrible congestion and can't remember what it feels like breathing through my nose. It feels like I have an ongoing cold, and went from sleeping well to barely sleeping at night.

I'm hoping that in two months I don't feel this. I'm grateful I read so many success stories on here, but I've also read a few where the allergies never went away and you just have to deal with.

I couldn't have asked for a better kitty - she is absolutely well behaved and the sweetest little thing, rehoming her is not an option and I'll struggle if I have to, but any tips would be amazing right now ❤️ Thanks Guys!
