Allergic to Cats?

Cat Allergies

 

Cat Allergies Bothering You?

If you love cats but struggle with sneezing, itchy eyes, congestion, or asthma flare-ups every time you’re around them, you’re not alone. Cat allergies are one of the most common environmental allergies and are triggered by proteins found in cat dander, saliva, and skin flakes. These allergens can linger in the air and on surfaces for long periods, making symptoms difficult to avoid.

The good news is that you don’t have to give up your furry friends. At Premier Allergy Asthma & Immunology, our team—including Dr. Kiranjit Khalsa, Dr. Michael Saavedra, and Allyson Branston, FNP-C—offers advanced, personalized treatment options designed to reduce symptoms and improve long-term quality of life.

 

Understanding Cat Allergies

Cat allergy symptoms can range from mild to severe and may include:

These symptoms happen because your immune system overreacts to harmless cat proteins, treating them like a threat.

How Premier Allergy Can Help

 

At Premier Allergy, we don’t just treat symptoms—we treat the underlying cause of allergies through a comprehensive, patient-centered approach.

 

Allergy Shots (Immunotherapy)

Allergy shots help your immune system gradually build tolerance to cat allergens over time. Small, controlled doses of the allergen are given on a regular schedule, eventually reducing sensitivity and long-term symptoms.

Benefits include:

 

Allergy Drops (Sublingual Immunotherapy)

For patients who prefer a needle-free option, allergy drops placed under the tongue can be an effective alternative. This treatment works similarly to allergy shots by retraining the immune system, but can often be done at home.

Benefits include:

Medications for Fast Relief

In addition to immunotherapy, medications may be used to quickly control symptoms, such as:

These can be used alone or alongside immunotherapy for better control.
