<p>No, you don’t have to be a member of Avery if you’re allergic to cats. Most houses have areas that the cats don’t usually come into, and/or cat free areas. I have several friends with cat allergies who live in the houses without a problem. In the past, if your allergy is severe, or if you really don’t want to deal with it, you could rotate into a any house and just live in Avery. They might have changed this since Avery became a house.</p>
