I am terribly allergic to cats. Decades of working in shelters and a boarding kennel has not lessened the reaction in the least. I cannot go to my sister-in-law's house, because she has several cats. I can tell if someone owns a cat by standing beside them for a minute, behind them in line at a store, etc.
I could never live in a house with cats. It's just not physically possible. I am not even sure I could live in a house where cats had formerly lived, without completely replacing the carpet, painting, etc.
I would just go to his house to visit, instead of him coming to yours. As far as moving in together, if his allergies are less severe, some of the above suggestions might work. Maybe the cats could stay in one level of the house, or in certain rooms only?

"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
