Elise has been in contact with someone now for about a week about a litter of kittens they were "going to get rid of" if they didn't find them a home. We arrive at the people's house shortly after 7:30 to find momma kitteh and 4 small 4 week old kittens. Most still hobbling around like the little fluff balls they are. After one last drink from their mother we pick two (supposedly a male and female) and head on back to the house. Immediately after leaving we notice tiny little insects hopping around. Fleas, thats right big hairy fleas. Both cats are infested, Elise was needless to say disgusted!!! We get back to the house and with the help of Elise's mom start to simply wash the kittens in warm water, which as many people know cats don't like water.... and kittens hate it even worse, their cry's for dry land could be heard throughout the house that evening. The emergency vet suggested diluting some flee/tick shampoo and washing them with that. We finished the evening with both kittens thoroughly drowned but at least 30 fleas less. They got some good R and R in and slept throughout the night after a quick dinner of warm milk and mince meat.
