Your vet can prescribe an allergy rinse for your pet, but that means you must assume the new task of applying this rinse on your cat - which they're usually not fond of...sorry.

In addition to the allergy rinse, you can also get that Febreeze Allergen Reducer and spray it in your house. That reduces allergens by about 70%. Hope that helps. Good luck!

I also have allergies to cats but despite this have 2 adult cats - I do this by keeping my house clean, taking allergy meds and asthma meds - it sounds worse than it is because I took all of that medication before the cats already. However, it sounds like you should attempt to get the kittens off to loving homes because if I come in contact with alot of cats my allergies are insane. My suggestion would be to keep your daughters cat and slowly adopt out the kittens - I also would strongly suggest that you partner w/ an animal adoption agency so that you can ensure a healthy happy home for the kitties.

Isolate the cat and kittens, if you can, in one area of the house. Dust and vaccuum every day. Wash your hands and arms up to your elbows every time you touch them. Don't touch your face or hold them up to your face.Bathe the cat especially and her kittens if you can. They do make anti-allergen sprays. I think they're available through your allergist and through some vets.
