Brief Answer:
Can try Atarax for short term relief.

Detailed Answer:
HI

Thanks for posting your query.

Well she can take other anti allergic medication like Atarax, Desloratidine etc but she has to take medication as long as she gets exposed to cats.

The best thing is always to avoid Cats, if this is absolutely unavoidable then she is get a desensitization procedure where her allergy to Cat ( cat's Hair ) will be reduced gradually and later totally abolished.

Hope this information was useful to you.
Any clarifications feel free to ask .
