Question

I have just got a kitten and i am badly allergic. i am going to give her back is this a good idea?

Answer 1

Better now while he is cute and small so he can find a nice home. sorry you cant enjoy a kitty, they are a lot of work and care but so worth it.. SORRY.. GOOD LUCK

Answer 2

If you got her from a breeder, that's probably fine. So sorry you can't keep her, but I get bad hayfever so I understand what you feel like! Are you allergic to all cats or just this one?  

Answer 3

before giving kitty back try bathing her it is not the fur you are reacting to but the dander and kittens have lots because mum was constantly cleaning them. use a cat/kitten shampoo or just tepid water will clean off a tiny kitten (we used baby shampoo when my oldest cats came home 20 mls diluted in 150 mls water and keep this out of her face rinse well and dry and then keep her warm. also try some allercalm so your body can adjust to having her around. you will need to bath her once a month though but from an early age she will adjust well to this routine. please try and keep her first as your body will learn to stop reacting to her dander. (i am asthmatic and have three cats)

Answer 4

Answer 5

Yeah

Answer 6

Both me and my Fiance have allergies to our cat but we still have her. Just after my parents found out that I had fur allergies they got another kitten. After a while you're body will start to get used to having a cat around. You're allergies won't flare up so bad around your cat.

We pick up allergy medication every grocery day. We used to have to take a lot but gradually we are taking less and less.

vacuum up the fur and dander regularly. Get your car groomed either by you or by someone else to keep the dander and shedding fur down.     avoid putting your hands in your eyes after playing with the kitten.  Keep the kittens nails trimmed ( not declawed) so she can't scratch you as easily. ( scratches on me break out into welts)

Lots of people with allergies have pets.  myself I wouldn't get rid of a cat unless the animal's presence was causing my throat to close over.  

Answer 7

If you have a bad allergy then it is best for your health.  There are things you can do to reduce your symtoms like wiping the cat with special anti allergy wipes and taking medicine but it is probably best just to not keep cats.  If you got her from a breeder they should take her back and offer a full refund.  If you got her anywhere else then take her to you local no-kill shelter and give a donation to help them take care of her.  She should have no problem finding a new home as she is young.  

Answer 8

I am allergic to cats i gave mine to a close friend this way you can still see it time from time without a bad reaction  

Answer 9

Instead of giving her back, think of a little kid maybe related to you that would want it. Thats one of little kids' favorite things lol.

Answer 10

I also have a kitten and I am allergic to cats. My kitten doesnt really bother my allergies, so far. I vacum once a day and use cat wipes to keep down the dander. If my allergies increase when she gets older I am going to get allergy shots. I have too say my allergies were pretty bad when her litter mates were all here. I rescued these cats from the woods behind my home. I thought I would NEVER own a cat didnt even like them. Well I guess i changed my mind for my kitten.

If you are really reacting though.....I agree I would just give it back or find a nice home for it, unless you are willing to live off zirtect and get allergy shots.

Answer 11

either give her back or ask around to friends and family and see if any of them want her or even put an ad on craigslist

Answer 12

YES ! Just make sure she will have a good home.
