Question Cats and new apartment

[eastcoast_bsc]

My landlord gave me a little over a month to vacate my place. She has friend who needs a place and that's that. Scum bag move but I don't have time to dwell on it.

So I checked out a place today outside of Boston, small place 630 square feet but by Boston area prices reasonable. I won't say how much for fear the forum will hold an an all night prayer vigil for me. Lol

So when I arrived the current tenant had two cats. Bleeping dander everywhere , I am allergic. I could feel my lungs constricting and eyes swelling.

So my question is, can this dander be cleaned? I read of anti dander spray and cleaning the floors and baseboards. There are no carpets all hardwood floors.

Any thoughts would be appreciated. Can this be controlled?

That stinks! Call a carpet cleaning place and see if they have something to offer. If not, call a veterinarian you are familiar with and get some pointers from them. They are usually up on all the latest when it comes to pet allergies. Let me know your address and I'll send you a hairless cat as a housewarming gift! You know I got em! lol!

The thing from cats that triggers allergies are proteins in their saliva, urine, and dander. They lick then shed their fur, too, of course. It can be cleaned up, but it requires an effort like preparing an electronics clean room or surgery operating room for especially sensitive people. The allergens are light enough that they can stay suspended in air a long time. Curtains, upholstery, rugs, and any porous material will hold onto the allergens, including sticking to walls. Since the allergens are cumulative, a thorough cleaning of a space which has not been cleaned in a long time should help. If the cats remain present, however, the place needs ongoing effort to keep clean.

Eastcoast- check with your physician about allergen shots too. They have helped a lot of people in that type of situation till all the allergens are neutralized.

Thanks guys, yes I will check with my Primary Care Physcian. No these two mangy creatures will be gone. Lol

There is no carpet all hardwood. I will request a good cleaning.

I read of this stuff, anti allergy spray.

https://www.amazon.com/ADMS-Anti-Allergen-Spray-32-oz/dp/B0010DLYR4

After it is cleaned I will spray everything with that.

You stop being bigoted towards those two innocent kitties!

Dry clean any curtains and shampoo upholstery before using the spray if you want the best results. There isn't much hope of getting everything in cushions neutralized if the cat has been using them for years, but removing more is better than removing less.

Get a German Shepherd.
They only shed once a year, but it lasts about 365 days.
All that dog hair should cover the cat germs and dandruff nicely.

It will be an empty apartment. There will be no fabric. The floors are hardwood. So that helps.

Dogs rule, cats drool.

Find a cleaning crew and have them go through the place before you move in.

Massachusetts way, pay someone to fix it.

My allergies to cats are bad. Weird thing is they started later in life. I get asthmatic and my eyes swell up.

Cats act just like dogs when you get to know them you ignorant un-PC weirdo!! Note: (I foster animals) So shut up!

We need a new St. Patrick but this Saint will drive all the cats away.

My husband gets like that off and on. He just stays away from the petting or takes an over the counter allergy med.
