Yep, that does make complete sense. Thanks for explaining more. The only thing I can think of is to see if you can find someone with a vacuum with a hepa filter (Kenmore at Sears has a very nice canister vac that I really like for around $250, if you need one anyway). Put an allergen filter in your air intake, if you can.
If steam clean your carpets, get an allergen reducer. Febreeze also makes an allergen reducing spray, but I've heard mixed things about it, not to mention the febreeze tends to make me sneeze more than anything.
The big thing will be removing dander and cat fur, so vacuum all your furniture down. Vacuum any surface you can, really, starting at the ceiling and working your way down. Then wash down anything you can (tops of kitchen cabinets, tops of doors and door frames, tops of anything) with warm soap and water. Don't forget inside cupboards you open often.
The dander and fur shouldn't really be too bad if you were only sitting for a short time, but that is what I would do if I were in your situation. Oh, also, remove any extra fabric stuff you can - throw rugs, throw blankets, drapes, etc. That will help cut back on the allergens.
