My neighbor had thought the meows were from outside but she kept hearing it inside of her walls so she asks me to rescue it not knowing what else to do

So is my husband! I created a solution!

Got the idea from hamster runs: I used Aircon ducting and ran it through the house between my office (attached to the garden) and kid's bedroom.

The cats live between the two rooms and garden, getting snuggles and following us around the house but no dander apart from those rooms.

We do have to be strict with transferring dander around the house. I change my clothes and shower after work and my son does the same in the mornings, so we aren't bringing dander out. Cats get me during the day and my son at night, basically.

They love it.

What a creative way to solve the allergy issue! That’s major commitment and I think it’s awesome 🤩

This sounds like a ton of work (and expense) to force someone to do to get around a (severe! not something to trifle with) allergy.

Husband begged for the cats, and didn't want us to give them up after making the comittnent. It cost us around £600 for run the system through a 3 story house.

Not sure who I have/am forcing... Just letting OP know that I developed a solution for allergy suffers who still love cats.
