If I _________________________ this terrible, lifelong allergy to fur, I _____________________________ that adorable stray kitten we found yesterday.

The correct answers are didn't have and would have adopted.

This is a mixed conditional connecting an ongoing present state to a past result.

We use the past simple (didn't have) for the unreal present/general condition (the lifelong allergy).

We use would have + past participle (would have adopted) for the unreal past result (the missed opportunity yesterday).
