Just found this adorable lil thing out side and was afraid it was going to get hurt, my neighbor called me out and said it was behind her tire so I took the lil bugger in. Anyway, I was wondering if I could get some advice on how to take care of its fleas I have a who ten bucks to my name rn
Dawn dish soap will kill any fleas he has on him, but you might have to do it multiple times, also regularly vacuum the area where you keep him. You leave the dish soap on him for about five minutes before rinsing. I used to work at a veterinary clinic, we recommended this method to people all the time.

Do cats try to lick the soap while it's on them?

Gracias m8 would take it to the ASPCA but they don't make pick ups

Also I didn't think about that old respond
Buy anti flea medication and apply it behind its head/neck so it can't lick it and fucking die

I've only had to do it myself once, and in that limited experience, the kitten did not seem to like the taste, so she licked twice and then stopped. If she swallowed any, it didn't hurt her. Since veterinarians regularly recommend it, I assume it's pretty safe.

No problem, good luck.

Please don't buy cheap flea meds. I've seen cats get very, very ill from things like Hartz. They get neurological symptoms and they can die. Many flea meds you buy OTC are also not meant for kittens.

>i have ten bucks
sounds like you can't afford adequate care for a pet right now; give him up to a local shelter, or post on craigslist or something. a stray NEEDS to be spayed/neutered (can be cheap, depending on services in your area; some cities have free spay/neuter programs), vaccinations (not cheap), deworming (it has worms, whether you think so or not), and if you're planning on letting it outside, it needs an ectoparasiticide, too (not frontline; can't recall what i treat my cat with, but it might be revolution. ask a vet, because a lot of parasiticides are not-so-well-regulated and can really mess up animals), it needs a litter box, food, few toys (nothing with strings or feathers; hazardous if ingested)
if you're poor, give it to a shelter; kittens have zero trouble getting adopted, and they'll care for it better than someone with ten dollars possibly can

Are you being intentionally dense?
