I don't know where you live but I found the most awesome pet hair remover at our local Ace / Aco Hardware for 2.00 you roll it over the hair and it picks it up and puts it in a lil compartment that you empty. It's great! I got one for my mom too. I have 2 kitties that love my 14 yr old and they lay on her bed and wow what a mess they leave behind. It also works on rugs carpet and furniture. Good Luck. Sorry I don't remember the name of it.
I feel your pain! We adopted a cat with this problems. No amount of brushing/combing will get it all. Though I do continue to try. One thing that helps keep the fur from floating everywhere is to put him on a piece of fleece. It's really cheap at the fabric store. I sit him on it when I'm brushing or petting him. If he wants to sit in my lap, I put it on my lap as a barrier to protect my clothes. Something about the fleece attracts the fur. Also, I've started putting pieces down where my cats like to lay. They seem to like it and this way I can just pick them up and throw them in the wash.
I use a comb (any people comb) on my indoor cats. who shed a lot! And they seem to like it. btw, A carpet sweeper picks up fur just as good as vacuum cleaner and you don't have to use up all your vacuum bags. I wish I knew an easy way to get it off me but the only thing I use is a damp sponge and that's not too great. I do find that wearing denim is good. The fur/hair does not stick to it.
Buy a plastic 25 cent comb normally used for humans. It should work well.
Visit your local beauty supply for a wig comb, which has teeth of varying lenghts that are spaced close together. Very effective in removing excess loose hair and many kitties really like how the comb feels.
This is what I would do buy some treats from the store and get an old comb and while the cat is eating just comb her and make sure you have a small trash can with you. When I am on the potty (small trailer with a hubby and daughter and dog) Titus likes it is the bathroom litter box is their and so in food and she likes to sit in the bathtub and stare at the dog). Anyway I just comb her and doesn't botter at all.
I have a furminator for my dog which works great. They have one for a cat too. Maybe this would work.
I have read that cleaning gloves will take it off of your furniture. Maybe you could try petting her with the gloves on. Although, I'm not too sure that wouldn't pull her hair. For your furniture, you just put on the gloves and wipe down the furniture. The hair rolls right off.
Call your vet and ask. They won't charge you to answer questions like that. He may have a good answer for you.
Are you sure there isn't a health or nutritional problem involved? That sounds like an awful lot of shedding, compared to the similarly stressed-out cats you deal with.
