Have you considered allergy shots? Not that I think you should try to keep cats if you're allergic, but if they cause you not to be able to breathe... that seems like something worth treating, if possible. Cats are pretty common.
(For that matter, Ricky, have you looked into allergy shots? Do they not work for allergies as severe as yours? They seem to be working [finally!] for my dust mite allergies.)

I took allergy shots for years when I was a kid. As long as I stay away from cats (and a few other things), I'm good to go.
Except for the cats on my car, they are pretty easy to avoid. My mother has a cat (which she is allergic to as well) but it lives outside on her ranchette (they have cows and cat keeps the mice and snakes away), so that's not a problem for me. Other than that, there are no close people in my life with cats.
Occasionally, because I work in the film industry, I have to shoot in a house where the owners have cats, so I have to use my inhaler but that doesn't happen too often.
