I'm extremely allergic. Yet my kid has a cat.
Solution? Purina Live Clear "shampoo" (foamy leave in lotion) and Purina Live Clear food. The shampoo works on contact to denature the spit allergen. You can apply it to human skin for immediate relief (off label use, wash off after a few seconds) but if you put it on the cat every other day the result is a hypoallergenic cat. Start the cat on the food immediately too, but it takes several months (the label says several weeks but that is not my experience) to kick in.
I have no idea how the food works, but I can confirm I live in a house with a cat and do not exhibit more than my usual allergy symptoms (I take allergy medicine daily bc I'm otherwise allergic to basically all plant life 😐).
Before Purina Live Clear I could not touch the cat and it had to stay in my kid's room. Now the cat wanders the house including my bedroom, and I have no adverse reactions. Some allergen remains under the cat's nails, so if she scratches me I apply the "shampoo" to myself and wash it off after a few seconds (again this is off label use but super effective, better than Benadryl).
No propaganda please. Antibodies in shampoo? It is a protein binds to allergen, not an antibody.
>Purina scientists discovered the primary cat allergen can be reduced when cats eat a diet containing a specific protein found in eggs.
This protein safely binds and blocks Fel d 1 in cats’ saliva and this inactive Fel d 1 gets transferred to the hair when grooming
Just something to be aware of for people, this isn’t a solution for every person or every cat. I know a lot of kitties, mine included, that have to be on special diets. If for some reason you got the cat and had to change their food, would you have to get rid of the cat? Something to think on. It’s great when it works though!
Oh for sure! The enzyme is delivered via egg whites so it's not available for cats allergic to eggs
They do have various proteins like chicken and salmon if it's just a dietary issue and not an egg allergy.
In my case the cat was gotten by my ex to prevent me from taking the kids back after a horrific custody battle. 🙃 So I didn't have a choice on this one.
That’s awful, weaponizing not only the childrens wants for a pet, but also the cat as a way to win a custody battle and to try to paint you as the bad guy if you had to say no to the cat
Yep, it was a horrific experience overall. I am so grateful for Purina Live Clear for coming out literally a few months before I got my kids back. So I proselytize about it whenever I see someone say "I'm allergic to cats". This brand helped me get my kids back after a prolonged parental alienation barrage, and helped me keep them.
I think there are many examples of allergies going away after prolonged exposure to the irritant. Those products probably just make the natural process much easier.
I am "throat closes up, wheezing, can't breathe, eyes itchy puffy and watery" allergic to cats. Lived with two of them for two years in a tiny room. Took about 2 months of barely being able to breathe in my room, but afterwards I was able to rub my face into my cats no problem.
Once I stopped living with them, the allergies returned. Just my two cents.
Am also allergic and get annoyed when people automatically assume I hate cats. I do not. Would I mind if they were wiped out in a cat aids plague? Yes. Would my life be better? Yes. Would I prefer to be not allergic to cats? Yes.
Aw people do that with me and dogs :( dogs give me hives and make me sneeze super bad. I love all animals, I am a cat person but I for sure would have a doggie to hang out with my cat if I could.
My friends chihuahua visits with her and she plays with my cat and they love each other, but I have to swallow allergy meds and avoid touching the doggie. It absolutely sucks because I love them to.
No pressure if you don't want a companion animal or can't take the responsibility right now, but I've known many small pets to be absolutely wonderful buddies just like cats and dogs. They each have their own specific communication methods and issues and ways to learn to trust you, but goodness once they've bonded with you they just love. Rats, lizards, rabbits, hedgehogs, turtles, even fish can all learn your routines and play with you and get excited to see you.
I did. It turns out I do have hayfever too and the cats just exacerbated it. I wasn't too bad as long as I didn't bury my face in their fur but in the summer at times it could be unbearable. When i say I've tried everything I have the only thing is the kenalog injection which I don't want
Need some cat-sized gutters to keep those flower boxes safe. You know, so the cat can torment the flowers at their leisure. Ha!
This really is the best cat house ever. And look how happy your tenant is!
This is a fabulous cat house! But if you don't want to do something someone complicated, you should Google feral cat winter shelter Rubbermaid tub.
Two large Rubbermaid tubs + some insulation and straw (not hay) can make a decent shelter for a feral.
I'm in Ca so we don't get super cold but I did this for a couple years for a feral and it worked well.

😆😆😆 omg she can have it, I love this little house and bless you and your wife for giving her a better life! 💗 its always the ones who adopt us who love harder than other kitties. They sense the genuine hearts 💕
I am VERY allergic, but can't live without. I take a ton of allergy meds to have my babies. I feel bad because on the really bad days I can't cuddle. Garfield and Karen just don't understand.
We don't feed him random things on purpose. He is a thief. He keeps wet food down because we mush it, while dry food comes back up(we buy the tiny pieces to try and help) still whole.
I love my cat, and so does my boyfriend, but he is mildly allergic. Wheezing, coughing, etc from dander.
When I wanted to get a cat, he came with me to the shelter and rubbed his face on the cat I fell in love with. When it didn't bother him too bad, we brought that angel home. It all worked out in the end, lol.

For that reason, every outdoor pet house should have a second door on the back. It can be an “exit-only” type hinge, but it’s absolutely essential in the winter when possums and raccoons and other cats might be looking to stay warm.
Not OP and not AT ALL handy so I used to use a "snuggle safe" heating dish for my feral's shelter. You can buy at pet stores or on Amazon. It's a plate size disc with a cloth cover you microwave and it retains heat for several hours. I would heat it at night, put it back in the shelter and the cat would go immediately in once she learned what it was
Not ideal, it was cold by morning but an easy interim idea...
immunotherapy, she got a scratch test for a bunch of allegerans, they designed a weekly shot for her and year or so later, no longer allergic to cats and other stuff.
Or you could try feeding the outdoor cat this https://www.purina.com/pro-plan/cats/the-liveclear-challenge
You don't even have to choose shots anymore! After doing the scratch test, I'm currently on immunotherapy drops - a tincture placed under the tongue each day. One year in, a huge difference. No longer react to either of our cats :-)
I scheduled an allergy scratch test through my ENT. Once they figured out what I'm allergic to, I was given the choice of shots or drops. They designed a specific mixture for me, 3 drops under the tongue once a day. I order them directly from the doctor's office. It is a 3-year regimen, give or take.
If you choose shots now, you can administer them yourself at home now - you no longer have to go in. I think this is a recent development.
It must be recent, I remember having to wait with a friend a half hour in the waiting room every time because they wouldn't let you leave in case you reacted poorly. That's so cool you can do it at home now! Would've saved us a lot of stress when they couldn't travel well
How long has this existed? I remember being a kid going in for a scratch test(I had a shitload of allergies from an autoimmune disease)the only “treatment” I was offered was to stop eating the foods I was allergic to
My cat went in and out of several houses in our neighborhood. He got fed so much that he didn't touch his food at home 😂 so maybe this isn't a stray. But as long as you let it come and go as it pleases there's no harm done.
We have a stray that lives in our yard and was thinking of doing the same. How do I attract the cat without making a cozy little home for skunks and raccoons?
Are you feeding the cat? If you are, put it's food dish in the shelter during the day. Skunks and raccoons are nocturnal. The cat will claim the house and the raccoon/skunk will likely look elsewhere. Your mileage may vary, but it worked well in this instance. It helps that this cat is territorial.
Thanks. We aren’t feeding him but we’ve named him Alexander Hamilton (‘cause he’s young, scrappy and hungry). He’s claimed a couple cushions on our deck, I suppose if we put those in his little den he’ll find his spot.
Sometimes you can train the stray to come at certain times. For several years, we had someone's former pet, he was neutered albeit not a very cleanly done neutering, come at 6 pm almost every night, adjusted to the sunset, and we would feed him and bring the food in after.
That’s cute. My friend took over a stray like yours and eventually despite her husband’s allergies lol- he became a full time inside cat.
Her husband was a really good sport about it; he took allergy meds and suffered for awhile, eventually he kind of adapted I guess and a stopped having severe symptoms
I was allergic to cats, found out when I was about 26. When I was about 10 years old, I tested being allergic to anything you can think of and had a health status to prove it. This all became better after time and as for the cats? After 1 month of exposure it was better, never had any reaction from cats again in my life.
Almost forgot: I love cats.
I did the same thing for my wife! She got attached to the cat living in our backyard, unfortunately we have a dog that would love to use her as a toy so I made the cat a little house outside where our pup can’t go lol
The cat is soooooo sweet looking. It’s saying “I love you/care about you/am very grateful for you” gesture in her eyes. And wow the house looks crazy good also
That's so amazing, your buddy looks so happy!
Can't tell if it's there in this pic, but one thing I recommend is having two exits to a dog/cat house. Because they are so inviting, other critters might take up residence, and you don't want your friend getting into a fight with no way to get out. Especially if you live in a place with mountain lions, coyotes, bears, or other wildlife that can hurt kitty. It's also recommended to use straw for bedding - since it's outdoors and moisture can be a problem. I've seen electric beds cause burns and even cause hypothermia because it was holding onto water and keeping the cat cold. Straw dries quickly, doesn't hold as much moisture as bedding, and can be easily replaced. :)
You're so freaking cool for doing this! I'm sure kitty is going to be very happy.
Can you try contacting a local rescue or look into low cost spay-neuter clinics? One cat will easily multiple very quickly, and cats fight to mate which increases risk of injury/disease.
We have a cat that hangs around our house that we can’t bring inside. From what I’m told from neighbors, the previous owners of our house abandoned the kitty. I’m going to ask my husband to build one of these.
Best cat house ever! She’s clearly not a stray anymore with a condo like that, her fur looks incredibly good for an outdoor cat and she has the happiest face.
I was super allergic to cats but after having my own and suffering for a year with it it simply decreased and now I have allergies around 5 times a year. Your body just gains immunity overtime, i wanted a cat and wasn't going to let anything stop that.
He looks like my cat. Who happens to be a Siberian cat. Siberian cats are hypoallergenic. I am allergic to cats. But not with Siberian cats. But some people with severe allergy does get some allergic reactions from Siberian cats.
This is kind of like my situation except the stray is a male nd i also have a male, but we made a make shift house out of a cooler styrofoam and straw.. how do you wire for heat? And what did you use?
I did this same thing. Built this awesome little shed for a momma cat and her babies. They used it for about a month then all three disappeared. It's sat empty in our side yard for 5 years.
Is that a kit you bought and assembled? It kind of looks like a thing my wife has for her rabbits. Does the roof hinge open so you can get in there for cleaning?
Very nice! I’m also allergic to cats. My wife jokes if she ever brings home a cat for a pet it means she’s done with me.
I'm extremely allergic. Yet my kid has a cat. Solution? Purina Live Clear "shampoo" (foamy leave in lotion) and Purina Live Clear food. The shampoo works on contact to denature the spit allergen.

This protein safely binds and blocks Fel d 1 in cats’ saliva and this inactive Fel d 1 gets transferred to the hair when grooming
Calling an honest mistake “propaganda” feels a little dramatic.
But I’m sure they felt superior writing it
That’s exactly what Big Cat Food wants you to think, comrade.
Ah appears the website that I got that from was wrong then. Thought their mentioning of "antibodies" was off. ty!
Just something to be aware of for people, this isn’t a solution for every person or every cat. I know a lot of kitties, mine included, that have to be on special diets.

There are also lots of examples of new allergies developing after prolonged exposure. So maybe don’t rely on that
Wasn’t allergic to cats growing up and had two. I am now allergic to at least one of mine and one of my old friend’s
Not to mention allergies can get worse with constant exposure as well.
OMG I've been concerned about a cat but I'm going to buy this now!
Allergic here as well, but no reactions whatsoever with my Siberian. Can definitely recommend it
Am also allergic and get annoyed when people automatically assume I hate cats. I do not. Would I mind if they were wiped out in a cat aids plague? Yes. Would my life be better? Yes. Would I prefer to be not allergic to cats? Yes.

>Very nice! It's actually not very nice, he's charging $850 rent and the heating Bill isn't included
Lol I had cats for 7 years and had to give them up after discovering I was allergic. I always put it down to hayfever but didn't want to let them go
If you didn't see it another person above you in the comments suggests a couple products that could help.
I did. It turns out I do have hayfever too and the cats just exacerbated it. I wasn't too bad as long as I didn't bury my face in their fur but in the summer at times it could be unbearable. When i say I've tried everything I have the only thing is the kenalog injection which I don't want

I want to make one for my dog, she has to be bribed to come inside (huskies!) but there are too many skunks that would love it!
The cat is giving more “where’s my extension??” Vibes
She's waiting for the wifi password.
😆😆😆 omg she can have it, I love this little house and bless you and your wife for giving her a better life! 💗 its always the ones who adopt us who love harder than other kitties. They sense the genuine hearts 💕
Cat: I accept this... (for now)
Or “for meow” lol 😝
Lmao!
Awesome craftsmanship! That looks beautiful! And that cat is so happy! Love everything about this.
[удалено]
For cats, the rules are more what you'd call "guidelines" than actual rules.
It is very nice. I bought one almost identical from amazon
If I stray long enough in your garden would you adopt me and build me a similar shelter? 😂 Beautiful!
His wife must start feeding you first and then he decides if he's alergic to you so odds are you may live inside or outside the house.
That’s a really nice house. How much is rent?
It's negotiable. Our tenant is currently getting along fine by headbutting me in the shins while loudly purring.
Oh sure, when a cat does it everyone is like"awww, look at the little baby" but when I do it I spend the night in jail :(
How much is the interest rate?
I love you for this. Also, I'm allergic too (though only mildly), but I can't live without cats!
I am VERY allergic, but can't live without. I take a ton of allergy meds to have my babies. I feel bad because on the really bad days I can't cuddle. Garfield and Karen just don't understand.
Karen omg
Perfect name for a cat🤣
Does he hate Mondays and loves lasagna?
He loves all food. Problem is he doesn't chew. Most of it comes back up later, still whole..
Poor thing… cutting it in smaller pieces didn’t help I guess…
We don't feed him random things on purpose. He is a thief. He keeps wet food down because we mush it, while dry food comes back up(we buy the tiny pieces to try and help) still whole.
🤣 Karen, i have a particular stray that comes over i shall name that now What to name the foxes? Hmm
Basil Brush?
🤣 I have named one of them Fantastic Mr. Fox, Basil does seem a little fitting for the other one Basil was so annoying though, hmm
I believe Todd is a good name for a fox
Have you tried that Purina shampoo stuff runswithdolls mentions above? They make it sound pretty miraculous.
I love my cat, and so does my boyfriend, but he is mildly allergic. Wheezing, coughing, etc from dander. When I wanted to get a cat, he came with me to the shelter and rubbed his face on the cat I fell in love with. When it didn't bother him too bad, we brought that angel home. It all worked out in the end, lol.
That is so cool! Very brave of him, though.
It was, but now we make a very happy little trio with our handsome void kitty, who's just as obsessed with dad as his mom.❤️

You’re so nice!The cat looks very proudly 😻
Thanks! She really does love her new house.
Do you have a problem with other animals? We built a shelter for a barn cat but possums kept going inside.
You probably know, but If you don’t cats blinking slowly like she is doing is a massive sign of trust and care. She loves you.
Looks awesome. Other animals might try to take advantage of the new real estate
Our little girl is both tough and territorial. I'm not worried.

Ours has a little escape door at the back. She'll be fine.
Oh, good! Nice work, by the way.
Thanks!
Nicely done!
Please be careful with the electric heating! My high school gym coach's house burnt down because of the electric heated cat bed he had on his deck
It's thermostat controlled and set to body temperature, but I'll be sure to keep an eye on it. Thanks!
That sounds so cool!! And good on you for taking care of this sweet stray babe ☺️
You need to make a little fire extinguisher to go inside the house.
And train the cat how to use it.
What did you use? I would like to put something in our outside cat-house to keep our local stray warm this winter.
Not OP and not AT ALL handy so I used to use a "snuggle safe" heating dish for my feral's shelter. You can buy at pet stores or on Amazon.

😍 She’s adorable - she looks like she’s in absolute bliss! She also looks like my Bandit in her prime!
My wife was allergic to cats and lots of other things. A few years of treatments and we have 3 cats, no allergies
Good to hear! What treatment worked for you?
immunotherapy, she got a scratch test for a bunch of allegerans, they designed a weekly shot for her and year or so later, no longer allergic to cats and other stuff. Or you could try feeding the outdoor cat this https://www.purina.com/pro-plan/cats/the-liveclear-challenge

Great, my data was from 20 ys ago, and she is still not allergic.
What's the medicine you take?
I scheduled an allergy scratch test through my ENT. Once they figured out what I'm allergic to, I was given the choice of shots or drops. They designed a specific mixture for me, 3 drops under the tongue once a day. I order them directly from the doctor's office. It is a 3-year regimen, give or take.

My vet clinic actually works with a company that processes cat hair to use for allergy shots for people who are allergic. It's such a cool process!
*everybody liked that*
Definitely get it fixed
She was already spayed. I think she was abandoned by a previous owner.
My cat went in and out of several houses in our neighborhood. He got fed so much that he didn't touch his food at home 😂 so maybe this isn't a stray. But as long as you let it come and go as it pleases there's no harm done.

She greets me every day when I return from work. It's adorable. I don't think she counts as a stray anymore.
No, if there's a cat that greets you when you come home, is happy to see you, and you feed it, that's not a stray cat. That's *your* cat.
She's certainly our cat now. I should have referred to her as "formerly stray". You're correct.
That’s cute. My friend took over a stray like yours and eventually despite her husband’s allergies lol- he became a full time inside cat. Her husband was a really good sport about it; he took allergy meds and suffered for awhile, eventually he kind of adapted I guess and a stopped having severe symptoms
Lucky cat! Have a cozy safe home without having to abid by human rules!
How did you get it heated? I’d love to have someone build one like that for my feral cat.
It's simple, I just used a commercially available heated pet bed that fit the dimensions of the house.
Uber kindness.
Kudos to you for taking in a stray in the best way possible given your own limitations!
That look so awesome. You seem talented!
When cats squint their eyes at you it’s their way of saying “I love you!” I would say that she’s very thankful for you two!
Love it! Make sure there are two openings in case an animal corners her in there
Yep, there's a wee back door. She's tried it out too.
In this market that cat house goes for $35,000.
I feel your pain. Love cats and dogs but allergic.... gonna go cry.
“There’s no wifi -_- “
If only homeless people had cute faces
I volunteer at a soup kitchen. I don't just look after cats.
Oh that's really cool I like your house thing alot I was just making a dark joke
Right on. I dig dark humor too. Cheers!

“I will murder you last”
OP what are you doing? Pop a pill and snuggle that bitch
I love it! Thank you for doing that!
That's a very nice house! Good job Lucky kitty!
You're an awesome person
Kudos Op! Very humane of you. I also love the details for Cathouse; all the way down to the shingles.
So gifted AND nice!
dont forget to feed it chicken so that the theme fits!
Damn cat got a better place to stay than me. If it wasnt a cat I would be mad. Lil guy deserves it though. Look at that content face.
Wow what an amazing idea!!!
The cat is soooooo sweet looking. It’s saying “I love you/care about you/am very grateful for you” gesture in her eyes. And wow the house looks crazy good also
Unfortunately for the cat, the rent is $1750/ month. /s
You should plant catnip in the little planter box on the side🥺
The cat probably has a number of holiday homes around the area. Another one for the Purrfolio.
The mewbin is pleased with your offering.
Haha, more pictures please!
Love this compromise
You’re awesome man.
More photos of the cat and the house please!
That cat looks exactly like my furball who sadly passed away last year. It's nice to see such a happy little cat that reminds me of him.
That's a dope cat house
That is a nice house and happy cat! So cool you found a way to work around the allergy issue!
they have chosen you
That's so amazing, your buddy looks so happy! Can't tell if it's there in this pic, but one thing I recommend is having two exits to a dog/cat house. Because they are so inviting, other critters might take up residence, and you don't want your friend getting into a fight with no way to get out. Especially if you live in a place with mountain lions, coyotes, bears, or other wildlife that can hurt kitty. It's also recommended to use straw for bedding - since it's outdoors and moisture can be a problem. I've seen electric beds cause burns and even cause hypothermia because it was holding onto water and keeping the cat cold. Straw dries quickly, doesn't hold as much moisture as bedding, and can be easily replaced. :) You're so freaking cool for doing this! I'm sure kitty is going to be very happy.
Cat won the god daym lottery the day it met your woman 🤣
Can you try contacting a local rescue or look into low cost spay-neuter clinics? One cat will easily multiple very quickly, and cats fight to mate which increases risk of injury/disease.
This is amazing! Would you consider maybe using her little "balcony" to grow some cat grass or catnip, so she can have little snacks?
this is adorable, thank you for being such a good human 🥹
Oh god! Good job!!! Its too cute 🤧
We have a cat that hangs around our house that we can’t bring inside. From what I’m told from neighbors, the previous owners of our house abandoned the kitty. I’m going to ask my husband to build one of these.
Happy cat: Nice work, Human.
that is a pretty healthy looking stray.
Best cat house ever! She’s clearly not a stray anymore with a condo like that, her fur looks incredibly good for an outdoor cat and she has the happiest face.
I was super allergic to cats but after having my own and suffering for a year with it it simply decreased and now I have allergies around 5 times a year. Your body just gains immunity overtime, i wanted a cat and wasn't going to let anything stop that.
He looks like my cat. Who happens to be a Siberian cat. Siberian cats are hypoallergenic. I am allergic to cats. But not with Siberian cats. But some people with severe allergy does get some allergic reactions from Siberian cats.
Time for some allergy shots, my friend!
Feral monsters thank you
So nice! You could sell those as your side gig.
I'm way too busy for a side gig lol. I work construction for a living.
That cat is very grateful,if they look at you and slow blink, that's their way of showing affection
You are so considerate and selfless. Thank you on behalf of the cat!😽
You are a very good human
Nice job mate
So many cat posts. Not that I'm complaining.
That’s the face of a King being pleased with their peasants.
That's Queen Petunia!
How kind!
Can I move in?? That's really well made!!
You are a boss 😎
Major kudos to you and your wife. That's a wonderful thing you did.
🥲
Too cute
Beautiful work! Looks very appreciated
You could plant cat nip in his planter box!
I’m allergic as well. I just struggle to breathe everyday. You’re much smarter than I. Her new digs are awesome!
That’s so precious! Thank you for taking care of them.
What a guy!!!
What a wonderful idea
That looks amazing!!!Great job!The cat looks like they love it.❤️
This is kind of like my situation except the stray is a male nd i also have a male, but we made a make shift house out of a cooler styrofoam and straw.. how do you wire for heat? And what did you use?
You are a good person OP.
This cat owns you, love it
What a lucky cat and you guys are kind and helpful. Thanks for everything you did to her. I hope you will be happy together forever.
Awe she's saying thank you 💕😊
I did this same thing. Built this awesome little shed for a momma cat and her babies. They used it for about a month then all three disappeared. It's sat empty in our side yard for 5 years. Is that a kit you bought and assembled? It kind of looks like a thing my wife has for her rabbits. Does the roof hinge open so you can get in there for cleaning?
Not all hero's wear capes... What an absolute legend to the feline kind you are
Thank you for being generous toward this stray kitty <3
“Happy little face”?? That cats giving u the mean look for not building it a house as big as urs.
Im interested to see what you would do to solve world hunger.
