Understanding Cat Allergies
Cat allergies are triggered by proteins found in cat dander (dead skin cells), saliva, and urine. The primary culprit is a protein called Fel d 1, which is produced in cats' sebaceous glands and becomes airborne when cats groom themselves.
Unlike dog allergies, cat allergens are extremely lightweight and sticky, they remain suspended in the air for hours and cling stubbornly to clothing, furniture, and walls. This makes cat allergies particularly difficult to avoid without treatment.
Cat allergies are twice as common as dog allergies and can develop suddenly, even in people who have lived with cats for years.
Cat Dander
Microscopic skin particles that spread throughout indoor environments
Saliva
Cats groom constantly, spreading allergen-laden saliva on their fur
Urine Proteins
Concentrated in litter boxes and can become airborne
Clothing & Furniture
Cat allergens remain on walls, carpets, and upholstery for months
Typical Symptoms
- Sneezing and runny or stuffy nose
- Itchy, red, watery eyes
- Coughing, wheezing, or shortness of breath
- Skin rashes or hives after contact
- Chest tightness (especially in asthma patients)
- Persistent sinus congestion or post-nasal drip
When untreated, cat allergies can prevent you from visiting friends or family with cats, limit housing options, and force difficult decisions about pet ownership.
AllergyWorx helps you identify your triggers and treat them at their source.

Lifestyle & Prevention Tips for Cat Allergies
Create cat-free zones
Keep cats out of bedrooms to reduce nighttime allergen exposure.
Use HEPA air purifiers
In living areas and bedrooms, cat dander stays airborne longer than other allergens.
Vacuum at least twice weekly
With a HEPA-filtered vacuum, including upholstered furniture.
Wash hands immediately
After petting cats and avoid touching your face before washing.
Clean litter boxes daily
In a well-ventilated area (ideally by someone without allergies).
Bathe cats weekly
To reduce Fel d 1 buildup on fur (use lukewarm water and cat-safe products).
Replace carpets with hard flooring
When possible, allergens embed deeply in carpet fibers.
Wash bedding, curtains, and pet items weekly
In hot water to eliminate allergens.
Keep cats off furniture
Or use washable, allergen-proof covers on couches and chairs.
Wipe down walls and surfaces monthly
Cat allergens stick to vertical surfaces and accumulate over time.
Pro Tip
Cat allergens can linger in a home for up to 6 months after a cat is removed. Starting immunotherapy early, even before adopting a cat, can help you build tolerance proactively.
Success Stories
*Individual results may vary. Always consult your physician before starting any treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can cat allergy immunotherapy let me own a cat?
Yes. Many patients who complete immunotherapy successfully adopt cats or continue living with their existing pets comfortably. Building tolerance makes cat ownership possible even for those with significant allergies.
How soon will I see results?
Some patients notice reduced symptoms within the first few weeks, especially with AllergyDrops. Most achieve significant improvement within 3–6 months of consistent treatment.
Are cat allergies worse than dog allergies?
Cat allergens are smaller, lighter, and stickier than dog allergens, making them harder to avoid. However, immunotherapy is equally effective for both cat and dog allergies.
Will I need to get rid of my cat during treatment?
No. You can keep your cat while undergoing immunotherapy. However, creating cat-free zones (especially bedrooms) and using air purifiers can accelerate symptom relief.
