There are hypoallergenic cats, but they’re very expensive. I’m very allergic, but being around someone who owns a cat (and presumably has cat hairs on them) doesn’t bother me. When my symptoms do flare up, Claritin D 12 Hour helps a lot, if that helps your friend any.
I don’t know how allergic my friend is, but it seems I recalled her telling me that the dander on clothes was enough to choke her up. So I want to be very careful about any pet.
I will also buy some Clairtin D 12 hour for her visit, once I get a kitteh! I used to take it (long before it was OTC!) and it was the only allergy med that worked for me. Thanks again for the info!
