Urgent Help Requested for Son With Bad Cat AllergiesPosted By Mary (Arcadia, Ca) on 09/09/2015

We have used Nettle in capsules or tinctures for a variety of allergies. It would be something I would try for a pet allergy.
I gave my son 2 nettles capsules twice a day for allergies. Sometimes he took them three times a day. He also took a quercetin capsule once or twice a day. He was an average sized 12 year old.
I gave a toddler a 1/2 cup of nettle tea for hives.
Just trying to give some ideas on how I dose nettles.
A Vitamin C supplement is also something we have found helpful for allergic reactions.
I hope you figure this out so you can keep the cat!

The above treatments will likely reduce the inflammation that's triggering the allergies.
Nutrients that are best for reducing inflammation specifically are Quercetin, Pineapple, Turmeric, and Fish or Krill or Flax Oil.

Also, cat-saliva is said to be an allergen to some. Simply wipe down your cat's outer fur with a wet wash cloth once each day.
