Boy I didn't know where to put this.

There seems to be a lot of animal lovers and experts on here and I need some help. My husband arrived in my life with a cat. He rescued it only about a month before we met, but is attached. I love how he cares for the cat and I'm growing attached also.
Problem is, my husband and I are both allergic to the darned thing. It is a long haired cat with dander and hair in the air constantly making us both cough and sneeze.
Also, he is old (the cat, not my husband) and had these urine problems (the cat, not my husband) which we finally got under control with diet, but he still spits up hair balls (the cat, not my husband) We're re-carpeting soon and simply put, this guy has to GO! (the cat, not my husband)
No one wants him (the cat, not my husband) and the humane folks will only put him to sleep (the cat, not my husband) . We can't either seem to deal with that.
A friend who had a similar problem moved the cat outside to a dog house and only allows him inside for petting, etc. (the cat, not her husband) I'm considering that. I've been singing that song from "The Jeffersons," "Moving on up" to the cat for days. I'm trying to convince him (the cat, not my husband) that he's moving to a fancier pad.
Help.... Any ideas??
