Help? Dealbreaker

I’m going to keep this as short as possible.

Met him OLD, me 36F him 42M. To be blunt we’re on the verge of falling for one another. I’m not one to just throw that out there. Been a few months and things are great.

He’s allergic to cats. Pretty bad allergy. I have one, was in my OLD profile. He’s semi anti meds in general and I’m never getting rid of her. We’ve actually never spent time at mine because of it - I stated it need to happen next week which he’s agreed to.

We had a coming to Jesus, few months into dating. Both of us feel like this is an issue but we’re head over heels. Am I wasting my time? He’s the first guy I’ve really been into in 5 years since my last LTR. I was clear he’s the one who has to compromise on this - I’m willing to compromise on his spirituality/religion, he’s Christian and I’m not. Literally started crying, and I’m not a cryer.

I’m completely panicked. Mainly because, I’m a realist when it comes to dealbreakers. Do I end now and move forward or what?

EDIT UPDATE: Thank you all. I actually showed him this and We ended things this morning. He took responsibility for pursuing me despite having a cat and knowing he couldn’t ever deal with it.

To clarify some things: he never asked me to get rid of her, he didn’t reveal his cat allergy to me until after we had sex/6 weeks in, one day I do want to cohabitate with a partner and he definitely isn’t compromising which he admitted to as well.

SECOND UPDATE: Just another quick update as I’ve now officially read all the comments. He wasn’t even willing to take an Allegra and try to come to my house, so he backtracked on trying to come over and see how it would feel. Additionally, on our second date I told him how I got this cat. I was taking care of my mother who was dying and I suddenly had to fly back home and put my cat a 15 years to sleep abruptly. I returned back to my mother who passed away seven days later. On the day of my mothers funeral, I visited a pet shelter and I met my current cat and never looked back. Not only did he know I have a cat on my online dating profile but he heard this and did not tell me of his cat allergy until 5 to 6 weeks into dating after we had had sex.

Appreciate everyone’s input.
