Cat dander has a specific pH. A lot of people can be highly allergic to SOME cats, but not ALL cats. It makes no difference if it is a short haired cat or long haired cat. It depends on the pH of the cat's saliva. And of course, there are definitely people who are allergic to all cat dander, no matter the pH.
I am a professional pet sitter, so I am around many, many cats in my daily work. I also have several cats of my own. I have met 3 cats in my 20 year career that I was highly allergic to. I had to send the client to another pet sitter who was not sensitive to that cat.
Have you tried to see if your BF can tolerate being around your kitties?
