This is the safest and most efficient way to remove fleas from your kitten. You can buy a flea comb at your local pet store. Always comb out your kitten in a warm room so she does not get a chill or develop a cold, which could be fatal to a kitten.  Put warm water in a bowl with a few drops of liquid detergent. Comb the fleas off of your kitten and place the fleas in the water. Swish the water around so the fleas drown. You can also dilute five parts water to one part bath oil and sponge or spray it onto the kitten’s coat. Then, use the flea comb to remove the fleas off her damp coat. Fleas will run from the driest parts of your kitten so they may swarm around her face. Grab them and drop them in a bowl of water so they drown. You can also place the removed fleas on a piece of double sided tape so they cannot move or escape. You can then drown them or crush them. If you have other cats or kittens, including the mother cat, in your home, always treat them for fleas as well. You do not want fleas from another animal to get back onto your kitten. Most flea medications can be deadly to kittens, and newborn kittens should always receive manual flea removal. However, kittens over four weeks old can be treated with Capstar. This product will kill adult fleas on your cat, but not their offspring.  Other medications require your kitten to be at least eight weeks old for safe use and can kill any flea offspring. But you should always check with your vet before applying any flea medications to avoid harming your kitten. Avoid using natural oils on your kitten to remove fleas. Some oils, like lavender, eucalyptus, and geranium, are toxic to young kittens. You will also need a pair of gloves to protect your hands and a jar of insecticide or rubbing alcohol to drop the ticks into and kill them.  Put on the gloves and hold your kitten with one hand, or have someone help you hold your kitten in place. Place the tweezers close to your kitten’s skin and grasp the tick’s head. Pull, rather than twist, the tick from the skin. Avoid crushing or squeezing the tick’s body, which will flood your kitten’s bloodstream with harmful bacteria. Drop the tick the jar of insecticide or rubbing alcohol to kill it. Always wash your hands well after you have removed all the ticks from your kitten. Apply antiseptic to the tick bites on your kitten to prevent infection. Your kitten may try to chew or itch the bites, so treat them daily with antiseptic so they stay clean. Check your kitten for any signs of a disease or infection and bring your kitten to your vet if she displays any symptoms of infection, such as fever, loss of appetite, lethargy, or stiff limbs. There are several tick medications that you can apply to your kitten’s coat to remove ticks. However, these can cause health issues in kittens. Always check with your vet about tick prevention products before you use them on your kitten. If you have other cats or kittens, including the mother cat, in your home, always treat them for ticks as well. You do not want ticks from another animal to get back onto your kitten.
