I meant to add that you can get specialised testing done to determine the allergen(s), but this is expensive so you might not be able to afford it if the cat isn't insured (I can't!)
If the allergens can be identified, you can then get injections that should help a lot. The treatment is called Artuvetrin (google it for info)
I know someone who'd had this treatment for their cat and it's worked wonders.

Food allergies typically cause itching / raw areas around the head and neck.
