Sphynx cats aren't technically hypoallergenic (they still produce dander and leave behind dead skin cells), but they are hairless!! My Mom's friend has one of these kitties. ImageImage

When I had my kitty, I would scoop her litter box 1-2/day and sprinkle it with baking soda. The baking soda would help neutralize the smell (and boy was her poo and pee smelly!). I also kept a bag/liner in her box, so when the litter was no longer scoopable, I would just tie up the bag and throw it out. Then the litter box itself was still clean and fresh. I had the Litter Genie to throw the waste in too. That helped keep the smelly odors contained.

I have four cats, with five litter boxes. Only one is covered. Clumping litter in three, and Yesterday's News in two. I use Litter Lockers (like diaper genies), and scoop the boxes twice a day. I sprinkle Arm and Hammer litter deodorizer, just a little over the top of the litter, after one of the times I scoop.
Edited to add - Also, the higher quality of food you are able to feed, the less smelly the poop!

Well, other than getting a dog, there are a few options.
Purina makes a cat food (called LiveClear) that reduces the allergens in cat hair and dander by up to 47% after 3 weeks of feeding.
There is a wipe-on product called Aller Pet C that you put on a cloth and wipe onto the cat, to also reduce allergens.
Some people are allergic to the dust from the clumping cat litter. Using Yesterday's News, or silica litter (or other non-dusty litter) can help with that too.
