Sorry, we don't make the rules.
We can't imagine how tough it must be to discover someone in your household is allergic to a beloved pet, and we don't even want to try to imagine what we would do in this scenario. There is simply no correct answer or right way to go about it.
If the only solution you can find is to rehome the pet, it might be a good idea to find a friend or family member who can take the beloved furriend in. That way, you will know that your companion is in good hands, and you will still have a chance to visit them whenever it is possible.
That is what the owners below did with their cats, after one of their kids developed a heavy allergy to them. They couldn't really rehome their own kid, so finding a new, loving family for the cats was the only possible solution. This led them to turn to close family members and ask them to take the cats in, and luckily, these family members happily stepped up and adopted the furry felines.
For 4 years, these cats lived happily with their new family, while their previous owners, along with their non-allergenic kids, came to visit from time to time and kept the relationship going. That worked out great, until the allergic kid went off to college, and the previous owners decided it was time for them to take the cats back. According to them, the cats were only temporarily placed with a new family, and they always planned to take them back once the allergy was no longer in the way. However, according to the not-so-new owners, they legally adopted the cats 4 years ago, and they have no plans of letting them go now.
The discussion on who should keep the cats was posted in an online community, so keep scrolling to read the full tale and share your own thoughts in the comments below!
