If you are looking for the companionship of a large(r) animal there are several breeds of hypoallergenic cats. Siberian, Russian Blue (some say Siamese as well). Plus the Sphinx, a/k/a "Mr Bigglesworth" cats but they don't meet the "fluffy" requirement.

FWIW I have an allergy to some cats, certain longhairs really mess up my eyes but our cats are domestic short hairs and I have had not one problem with them. Even a friend who has sever dander allergies is not affected as bad as he usually is by our cats. My fiancé also has a slight allergy but she cured herself by rubbing them in her face for the first couple weeks we had them.
