I dont really care how alergic I am to them, I love having cats.

I am going to echo this.
Unless the allergies are truly affecting quality of life of the child, i say keep the cats. My parents knew i was allergic to our cats and yet i insisted we keep them because they brought so much to my life and now as an adult, i am still allergic and have cats of my own
I will note that this does happen quite frequently and i urge people to find a happy home for their pet instead of just dropping them off at the local shelter to die.
