He has trouble with the tiny kittens, so I never take in more than 3 bottle babies at a time. We have 3 air cleaners, and use those Filtrete Ultra Allergen filters in the air conditioning unit. It also helps that our home is all floors. Its a little more work, but so worth it!!Jennifer Hawkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04416184577867123290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3859669.post-13903538635869079092014-02-13T07:08:43.502-05:002014-02-13T07:08:43.502-05:00Yes!
