It's actually smart to get at least two kittens. Having only one leaves them without properly learning the right way to use their claws and play fight and their aggression will be taken out with the playmate instead of your curtains and furniture. If these three kittens came from the same litter I would have trouble picking just two of the three - I'd probably get them all too. In fact, my family recently rescued a newborn kitten. A few weeks later we adopted a kitten of the same age from our local vet. They couldn't be happier with each other. Another reason a second kitten was necessary was we have two elderly cats who our first kitten would've bothered had he not a playmate to be with.

Exactly. If you hadn't told him, or he hadn't noticed your allergies before, chances are they are not that bad. There are tons of different treatments you can try in order to alleviate your symptoms. Your boyfriend is showing himself to be a good, diligent, and loyal pet owner by not abandoning them because they're inconvenient. YOU are the one that is rejecting HIM because of the cats. It isn't the other way around.

That's what I thought as well... My dad is severly allergic to cats but I wanted a kitten so bad when I was a kid that he tried different medications until he found one that eventually helped. He's been around cats all the time since then and loves them alot. Sure, he sneezes from time to time and the house needs to be vacuumed a bit more often but it all worked out in the end. Same story with my friend's ex. He was allergic, she has 2 cats. He got some meds and his breathing problems went away. Also how can you be 20+ years old and never encountered a cat in your life, op??? You can't tell me you only just found out TODAY that you're allergic to ******* cats...I mean, they're everywhere!!!

While I agree with the points about returning them, before you bring an animal into a long term relationship it should be something decided and dealt with together. Maybe op could have adjusted to one cat with allergies. Three is tough. I knew when I saved the two I have it was going to be rough going. I was laid up for a few days. But allergies do set my pain disorder off so the laid up isn't normal. I just knew if we didn't take them they would end up at a kill shelter. If they did get adopted they probably would have been split up. They were together since kittens and it broke my heart to think about that. However, it was a decision me and my husband made together. Btw, I've turned in strays to non kill shelters and never had it held against me. As well as once I adopted a cat that turned out to be sick. Since I just had to put down a cat of 15 years and a dog of 14 I knew I couldn't make the call to do it again so I returned it to the shelter. They apologized that the kidney failure was missed and told me when I was ready to come back. So the return for any reason isn't quite accurate.

Because they have dander people can be allergic to? News flash! A lot of animals have dander. This is not a valid reason to hate any one animal.

It's possible to be allergic to people as well (my dog was, oddly enough). Does that mean people are creepy and you hate them all too?
