    Need kitten help for Sister

    My sister has taken in a kitten to get it out of the Florida heat, that a neighbor had took in that belonged to a feral Mama in the complex where they live. It is LOADED with fleas, what can she bath little Charlie in that will not harm him and get rid of the fleas? Anybody have any suggestions? I am to call her back when I get a answer...

    I used Dawn dishwashing liquid on Rosco and Abigail. It really helped but nothing will get them all like Advantage. Lot's of people use a drop or two on kittens.
    Tell her thank you for taking on the babies!!! She must be like you.

    Our vet told us to use Lemon Joy to get rid of fleas on little ones. We used it on Archy & Binky and it worked! If they're really bad, you might have to repeat the process.

    I've sworn by Advantage for years now...even tiny ones can get a drop or two without any harm. Many shelters use it for flea infested babies. It sure beats them dying from anemia. What happened to the rest of the kittens I wonder?

    I think this is some good advise. I don't have anything else to offer.

    Just make sure your sis gets the baby to the vet if the kitten shows any sides of anemia.

    THANKS!! She is without transportation and out of the Advantage because that was the first thing I told her, a few drops.. I told her I thought I had heard you could use Dawn or Pine Sol but couldn't remember for sure so let me ask you guys before I told her wrong.

    There were 4 kitten and a neighbor had them in his shed and he found homes for all of them but Charlie. Little Charlie is the last one left. She can not keep him as she already has 3 and little Kiki, a poodle IN an apartment. She is just keeping him inside where it is cool until a home can be found.

    No, No, No, Laura, never ever use Pine Sol. My goodness that is way to strong for a kitty.

    I used Dawn on Poppy and Willy when I got them and it worked fine. But then I was able to get them to a vet within a day or two and they were treated with Revolution.

    Bless your sister for taking in and caring for this widdle one.
