Which affectionate, hypoallergenic cat or dog is right for me?

Question

What can I do differently if I decide to get another cat in the future even though it would be #4 is this a sign that maybe I’d do better with a dog they don’t seem to be as wishy washy as cats and I need a pet that gives affection and wants to receive as well. So far I’ve had two pets who either didn’t give or want affection or no longer give. Also what are the best cats and or dogs for people with allergies less dander and hair but also affectionate?

Maybe a dog would be a better pet for you. Cats by nature can be standoffish, and while there are breeds that are extremely affectionate like Ragdolls, that would not be good for your allergies. I would think very carefully about getting another pet, and I say this gently. Given this would be #4, it's not fair to the animal to keep giving them away in search of finding an animal that meets all your needs. They are living creatures, and it's hard on an animal when it's taken away from it's home and moved to new circumstances. No one animal will be perfect, and when you take on the responsibility of an animal, it deserves love and respect as well as a stable home. Should you decide to get a dog, I'd recommend one like Poodle or a poodle mix like a Goldendoodle. Those are good for people with allergies. I hope this helps!
