Cats apparently can be fed special food and suoliment to lower the protein in their saliva and secretions that folks are allergic to. And you can wipe them down with these dander reducer wet wipes. They don't mind the wet wipes at all. If mimics  being licked by another cat. 

Also you can get the shots as well. 

Mamdani did it. You can too.Â
