[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is fostering a good way to "test" allergies? DD has pet allergies. We have been in homes (usually with multiple cats and dogs) where her allergies were so bad we had to leave. But also have been in homes with pets where she was totally fine. If we were to foster, is there a commitment for how long you have to keep the cat? I am concerned about getting a cat that triggers her allergies. This could also help us find a cat that we could adopt if DD is ok with it. Any other advice in this situation? Particular organizations? Thanks![/quote] A reputable fostering agency will not approve you as a foster under these circumstances. Sphinx cats still cause reactions in allergic people. For the sake of your child and the cat, you should not introduce a cat to your household. I used to work in an animal shelter, and we would discourage families in this circumstance for this reason. Pets deserve forever homes.[/quote]
