For some reason, it seems that cats visiting their neighbors always causes some kind of drama. Usually, it's innocent. Your cat goes out, your cat sets up camp in a neighbor's house, your cat gets extra treats, and then comes back home, and all is dandy. Other times… your cat might become famous in the neighborhood, and that may be for good reasons or bad ones. You won't know until you know.
Today, sadly, it happened for bad reasons. Apparently, the neighbor's kids are allergic to cats. Tragic but not their fault, can't blame them for it. What you can blame them for is asking their neighbor to get rid of their cat. Now, we get it, allergies can be really, really bad. But so is asking someone to give away their pet. Some solution has to be reached here, so this person reached out to the internet hoping to get some help. What do you think they should do?

Look, this may seem like a clear-cut case, but it's a bit more complicated than that. The answer is obvious: no, you do not give your cat away because your neighbor's kids are allergic to it. You just have to try to make sure that your cat does not interact with those kids as much as pawssible.
And it seems that the people under this thread are more or less in agreement with us. There is nearly nothing in the world that would make us say that it's better for someone to give away their beloved pet cat.
