Mom is going to get rid of my cat

I got a cat for Christmas, that my mom got/gave me. I love her so much. We’ve bonded and I’m seemingly her favorite person, but my mom is apparently allergic. She told me yesterday and basically implied she’s getting rid of her.

I’ve taken care of this cat even though I’ve only had her for a little over a week, barely. I’ve spoiled her. I’ve spent all of my days with her. I let her claw me up and bite me because it’s how she plays. I bought her all of these treats, different foods, a leash and harness because she’s supposed to be an indoor cat so I figured I’d try walking her, a collar and customized tag, toys,..the list goes on, you get it..bought her a lot.

The cat has a horrible past and she’s only around 5 months old. I’d hate to get rid of her just for that. I hate that she’s seemingly disposable to everyone. My cat almost didn’t make it because of trauma she went through before we adopted her. Now she’s got a loving owner, who is me, and I have no control over whether I can keep her or not.

I don’t know if there’s anything I can even do. And this cat is the only thing that makes me happy in my life. I’ve had a pretty messed up life and it hasn’t been normal at all. This cat finally brought me love and happiness. I wanted to give her the best life. She loves and is obsessed with me already and she’s attached to me. She can’t be without me or she cries.

I’m not surprised she’s going to have to go. Anything that I love or makes me happy usually gets taken from me. But I’m kind of losing it because I can’t imagine her elsewhere when she’s already clinging to me. She’s the only normal thing about my life and moving out of my mom’s house isn’t an option. I understand my mom is allergic supposedly, and if she truly is I don’t want her to suffer it, but I’m also torn up inside over everything because what about my cat? What about her? Where is she going to go? Why did all of this have to happen? She’s already been through so much. And then as selfish as I am, what about my feelings and life? My cat is my only reason for me even wanting to live right now.
