Get rid of a pet allergy permanently

Question:

I want to get a kitten, but my dad is allergic to cats and wont let me get one, because all kittens turn into cats obviously, is it possible for him to permanently get rid of his cat allergy?

Answers:

He will probably always have cat allergies. It is something that doesn't go away. My sister had 3 cats, then found out she had cat allergies, got allergy shots frequently and it helped somewhat, but she was always allergic to cats and still is. She finally gave her cats away.

Maybe, get a different pet, a small dog, a hamster or fish.
