I found a tiny kitten in front of an apartment building. He was meowing so loudly. I picked him up and I noticed that my feet became black. It was the fleas leaving his body. It took me multiple baths to get him flea-free and from day one, he climbed on my chest and slept there. I loved him for 16 years. I had to make the agonizing decision to end his cancer pain last year. I will miss him for the rest of my life.

I need sum specific advice becuz the kitten i rescued from being abandoned outside has them mainly concentrated on his lil head & they lay the eggs mostly between his eyes. Ive picked sum fleas off i see active (mainly evening) and the clustered eggs too. But i have no $ for avantage (which i used on pets past & is amazing) Never heard dishsoap cud be that affective but i did see it. So I'd read recently about Apple Cider Vinegar & made him a nice bath with half a big bottle and lemmee tell ya their were lots of floaters but many were swarming for his lil head (lucky his hair is shorter on his head) he's a ling hair tho. I tried a cotten swap dipped in the cider and they were crawlin towards his eyes and nose-- i had toabort the mission! I knew theyd just multiply again so i really want to do it again but has any1 got suggestions. From this instructiknal video at leadt i know to do the head first tho👍 Im really amazed how content this cat is (est 3.5 mos) considering these critters are all over him. But he did seem especially more antsy before the 1st treatment. Thnks any1. Oh he will not do the back thing. Hates being turned over.

I know, I love the gawky "oversized ears" phase for kittens. So cute. And I love it when they are around 5 to 8 weeks old and their tails are teeny short little stumps no bigger than a pinky finger. It's funny, my tomcat was 7 weeks when I got him and he was so little he fit in my one hand and weighed just about one pound. By the time he was 7 months old he already weighed in at 16 lbs and the vet told me he had the 'big cat breed' body type and to expect him to weigh 20 lbs or more by the time he was full grown. Welp! Vet was close. Ralph got to be a 22 lb tomcat and was not considered to be overweight.

She got a topical treatment of Revolution at the vet then over 6 hours later we flea combed her and gave her a dawn bath and that seemed to get the rest! I think she had some on her head too before we did the soap ring around her neck but we used soap and warm water on a cotton ball for her head and picked the rest off. Rinsed her real well and picked some off as she dried and the once she dried and warmed up we flea combed and searched her again with a flash light. Hoping that kills the eggs and larvae too. She’s currently asleep next to my man. So adorable.

I have a mother and her two newborn kittens I rescued from an old apartment (my guess is that they were left behind to starve) and the mom seems relatively young (maybe about 1-2 years old) and the kittens are only a few days old. They were in pretty bad condition when we got them but already in a few days they all seem to be doing much better now that they have been getting food. The mother is very friendly with people and seems to have trusted me already within the couple of days that we've had her. Though I'm certain they have fleas and possibly ticks. Currently I've kept them mainly in my wash room in a box with a blanket in it and the mom's food. I let the mom go outside at least once a day to just de-stress because she'll often cry to want to go out but always come back. I figure she has fleas already so it's not too bad if she goes out in the back yard for a bit where I can see her. Though I still feel bad for not letting them have more space around the house. I'm trying to keep the fleas pretty much limited to back there with them so I worry about having her roam around now to get fleas all around the house. Do you have any suggestions to wash all three of them so there's no spreading of fleas or bug between them? I figure right now since the babies are so young, doing any flea treatments on the mom would likely affect the babies since they're feeding from their mom. So I haven't done anything like that just yet. Do you think I should just wait for them to get a couple weeks older till I do any washing like that? I'm relatively new to this all but I'm just trying to make things as comfortable as possible for them.

Treep Dia It isn't necessary to bathe a cat that often, and can actually be detrimental to their fur and skin. Of course you know your cats best, but if it stresses them out and they don't enjoy it, I hope you'll consider doing it less frequently, if at all. Cats are self cleaning, and don't typically need assistance unless they are very young, very old, or have gotten into something toxic.

A really good flea deterrent I have found is a Flea Trap made by a company called Victor. It uses sticky circular pads in a plastic housing and uses a 7 watt night light bulb to attract the fleas into it and onto the sticky pads in the trap. Both the light and the heat from the bulb is what attracts the fleas to the trap. Been using two of them for years in my home and they do help tremendously to keep the fleas in control without using chemical pesticides. You can find these Victor Flea Traps at Home Depot, along with the refill packs for the sticky pads for the traps. Now this trap will take some time to finally eliminate the majority of fleas from your home, they sit on the floor on the carpet or bare floors. You'll be amazed at how fast the fleas will fill up these things though. When I first started using them, I had to change the sticky pads almost every other day for about 1 to 2 weeks, after that, I changed the pads about once a month, sometimes a little longer. And since the pads are white, you can see at a glance just how many fleas are in the trap. Once covered in fleas, you'll know when to change out the sticky pad, believe me it works very well, just change the pad and set back in place. Very easy to use and I swear by this product. The cats may still get a few fleas here and there, but it wasn't as bad as when I first started using these traps in my home. I also recommend one for each room in the house. I also use a chemical waterless flea and tick bath for cats by Vet's Best. I also use their Flea and Tick Home Spray for my carpets, cats bedding areas and can even be used on clothing as well as sprayed on the cat itself. These Vet's Best products are all natural and plant based, so there are NO chemicals in them. So far they have been working very well for my cats and home respectively. These Vet's Best products are usually found at PetCo and some other Pet Stores. And no, I'm NOT a spokesperson or salesperson for these products, just some products I have found that work very well for controlling fleas in and around my home, and on my cats and kittens. However, it does say for use on kittens 12 weeks old and over. So I don't use it on newborns or kittens less than 12 weeks old per the directions of use.

Know it's a bit late. But make sure where you're keeping them is clean of flea and flea eggs too. (that includes feeding space as well) because, of course if there are any fleas around it's gonna latch back into them.

I have a semi feral cat that had 2 kittens on January 3rd. They all have fleas. The mom won't let me pick up the babies. Is there something I could put around the nest to chase off the fleas?

Melissa Walker i had pretty good luck with "diatomaceous earth". it's a chalky white powder made from the fossilized remains of microscopic diatoms. i think it attaches to their exoskeleton and dehydrates them? either way, it's apparently pet/kid friendly. i guess it's also being sold as some superfood supplement now. so there's that. but just make sure you read the label, and you get the household-use/pest-control one. there's a type that's used in water filtration systems that isn't ok. also, avoid essential oils. cats are unable to break them down

It doesn't matter which type of Dawn. I don't think they have a "Super-Powered" version out on the market, so they are all calm and docile chemicals they'd use for softer hands. They also use Dawn for removing oil from animals during oil spills.
@RNG-9998 жыл бұрын
Just be careful on how often you use it. Since it breaks down oils, it can dry their skin and fur out because it strips it of it's natural protective oil and then they get all itchy, but it's safe.

I am going trap 4 kittens and a mom Cat outside coming up next Sunday. They will be taken to the Vet Clinic the next day after trapping. Vet is going to Spay and Neuter them, give Rabies shots and distemper shots, and then put Revolution on them. The kittens look to be about 8 or 10 weeks old. I wanted to trap them sooner, but the Vet clinic wants them in a trap so that they can inject them through the trap to make them sleepy. The Vet clinic will put them back inside of the traps, and then I have to pick them up and take care of them for 1 day. Then the rescue people will pick them up and take them to a farm, and it is up to the farm people to keep them in cages until they are well an then release them on their farm. There is no foster care home for them since all is full. There is a cute Siamese Lynx Point in the group, I might try and keep it after the Vet stuff id over. I never tried to tame a Feral Kitten, and I do not know if I can. I already have 8 Cats in my house now. All Indoor Cats. I do not know if Revolution will remove the fleas and eggs from the Kitten ? I do not want fleas in my house. If I kept the Siamese Kitten in a cage I would have to keep it in the garage.

I dried her immediately off, for about 10 minutes. Then wrapped her like a burrito in a really soft blanket, and kept her on my chest area wrapped in my shirt and she slept. Then I took her out into the sun still in the blanket and in my shirt just to make sure her body temp. was good.

I found a tiny kitten in front of an apartment building. He was meowing so loudly. I picked him up and I noticed that my feet became black. It was the fleas leaving his body. It took me multiple baths to get him flea-free and from day one, he climbed on my chest and slept there. I loved him for 16 years. I had to make the agonizing decision to end his cancer pain last year. I will miss him for the rest of my life.
I feel sorry for your loss. My cat Ame died a month ago. She has F. I. P. A deadly disease with no cure. We had to put her down. 😭😭😭did you get a new pet? I got a new kitten named cloudy. But Ame will forever be missed!

I love black cats. They're usually the very last to be adopted so if I'm looking to adopt a kitten, I always choose the black one at the shelter.
I need sum specific advice becuz the kitten i rescued from being abandoned outside has them mainly concentrated on his lil head & they lay the eggs mostly between his eyes. Ive picked sum fleas off i see active (mainly evening) and the clustered eggs too. But i have no $ for avantage (which i used on pets past & is amazing) Never heard dishsoap cud be that affective but i did see it. So I'd read recently about Apple Cider Vinegar & made him a nice bath with half a big bottle and lemmee tell ya their were lots of floaters but many were swarming for his lil head (lucky his hair is shorter on his head) he's a ling hair tho. I tried a cotten swap dipped in the cider and they were crawlin towards his eyes and nose-- i had toabort the mission! I knew theyd just multiply again so i really want to do it again but has any1 got suggestions. From this instructiknal video at leadt i know to do the head first tho👍 Im really amazed how content this cat is (est 3.5 mos) considering these critters are all over him. But he did seem especially more antsy before the 1st treatment. Thnks any1. Oh he will not do the back thing. Hates being turned over.
*the last one*
I have one her name is bella I found her and took her in. She was abused but is now very used to me. Bella is still warming up to other people
Sarah Smith you should follow the tutorial but use a flea comb to take fly eggs off
Bless you🙏🏻🧡
The other lady is so sweet and gentle with the kitten! She looks like she loves munchkin so much ☺️
Bettie van Wegen She seems VERY kind💜thank God for good people who are helping animals.
Bettie van Wegen yeah they both were great with the little baby. But I was sort of thinking that maybe Catherine shouldn't have hugged the kitten so closely in the beginning because at that point Munchkin hadn't had the bath so it still had fleas. Hopefully she washed her clothes right away
Look at that little face after shes done, she sooo happy!!
Helen N I did this for my kittens and one of them starting purring afterwards 🙂
If your not sure if its flea dirt or just regular dirt, put it on a white paper towel, dripp some water on and rub it. If it turns orange its flea dirt
I'd wash the kitten just to be on the safe, and clean, side
Thx for the idea

i filled 2 jars of warm water, 1 with dish soap and the other clean for rinsing, no running water noise. I use a toothbrush for scrubing softly.
Best thing to use is warmed baby conditioner.... put heater on in bathroom. Let conditioner sit on kitty for 5 min. Rinse with warm water. Immediately put kitty in nice warm towel. Actually 2 towel. Once the first one gets wet remove it from kitty because It will make the kitty cold. After towel drying then get 2nd towel and wrap kitty. Make sure kitty is WARM. SOOOO IMPORTANT!!!!!
That kitten handled that much better than the five I just bathed. What a good baby.
Love all your videos.I found you because I was having difficulty weaning my four - five week kitten. But I have found all your videos to be a wealth of knowledge. My kitten had fleas when I found her. I tried reading up information on giving kittens a bath but wish I had found this video sooner. The trick with the ring of soap around the neck would have been so useful! All the fleas dashed to her head during the first bath, hence the necessity of a second bath. You are helping so many orphaned kittens grow up healthy and strong! Thank you for your informative videos!
I just got a month old kitten two days ago, I didn’t realize she had fleas until yesterday. Thank you for your video! I’m gonna buy all the stuff now to give my baby a bath

Got a cute new kitten yesterday and noticed today she had fleas! Thanks to your video I managed to take care of it! Now she's sleeping in a purrito in my arms. Thank you!
Munchkin meowing was like, “I thought you loved me.”
Munchkin is just so cute as a kitten burrito Oh my gosh!! 😁💖
Just did this to a rescue kitten. I did it in a small tub to avoid unnecessary stress, at the end I counted over 70 fleas lying at the bottom 😢 he's smaller than yours but I know he's gonna feel so much better after his nap.
Omg. Her eyes after the shower was telling me,"Never again!"
its so nice to see people treating cats with fleas with care and responsibility, other channels on youtube treat the cats poorly and its disgusting.
xD she looked so terrified when you combed her after she went wet :D
Asuna I love doing dat to cats! It doesn't hurt!
Her face was like O_0
So cute! Love the kitten purrito! 😸 Really love all you do for these orphaned kittens! Brings me joy seeing each one get better! 😃
Her big ears make her look like a tiny black gremlin!! So so so so so so adorable!!!!! Aaaaaah!!!!
I know, I love the gawky "oversized ears" phase for kittens. So cute. And I love it when they are around 5 to 8 weeks old and their tails are teeny short little stumps no bigger than a pinky finger. It's funny, my tomcat was 7 weeks when I got him and he was so little he fit in my one hand and weighed just about one pound. By the time he was 7 months old he already weighed in at 16 lbs and the vet told me he had the 'big cat breed' body type and to expect him to weigh 20 lbs or more by the time he was full grown. Welp! Vet was close. Ralph got to be a 22 lb tomcat and was not considered to be overweight.
Hey Im 16 and two days ago I rescued a small foster kitty 3 4 weeks old and I'm really proud cause this is my first cat rescue
thank you so much for this! We're fostering a 4-5 week old kitten from the humane society and he had the worst fleas, but your video helped us get nearly all of them off
Yup that soap ring around her neck is so helpful. Because without it they’ll all crawl up to the kittens face. So thank you for this video. And man will they fight you during a bath when they are older kittens!
Seriously! The soap ring idea I’d never heard before and it’s so very helpful!!
Mine is one month old and she's already a fighter! I just did the first flea bath and it wasn't easy
Thank you so much for this video! I got my first 9 week old kitten today and she had fleas. She got a topical treatment of Revolution at the vet then over 6 hours later we flea combed her and gave her a dawn bath and that seemed to get the rest! I think she had some on her head too before we did the soap ring around her neck but we used soap and warm water on a cotton ball for her head and picked the rest off. Rinsed her real well and picked some off as she dried and the once she dried and warmed up we flea combed and searched her again with a flash light. Hoping that kills the eggs and larvae too. She’s currently asleep next to my man. So adorable.
These videos are like those satisfying pimple pops to me except it’s better because there’s a cat

I have a mother and her two newborn kittens I rescued from an old apartment (my guess is that they were left behind to starve) and the mom seems relatively young (maybe about 1-2 years old) and the kittens are only a few days old. They were in pretty bad condition when we got them but already in a few days they all seem to be doing much better now that they have been getting food. The mother is very friendly with people and seems to have trusted me already within the couple of days that we've had her. Though I'm certain they have fleas and possibly ticks. Currently I've kept them mainly in my wash room in a box with a blanket in it and the mom's food. I let the mom go outside at least once a day to just de-stress because she'll often cry to want to go out but always come back. I figure she has fleas already so it's not too bad if she goes out in the back yard for a bit where I can see her. Though I still feel bad for not letting them have more space around the house. I'm trying to keep the fleas pretty much limited to back there with them so I worry about having her roam around now to get fleas all around the house. Do you have any suggestions to wash all three of them so there's no spreading of fleas or bug between them? I figure right now since the babies are so young, doing any flea treatments on the mom would likely affect the babies since they're feeding from their mom. So I haven't done anything like that just yet. Do you think I should just wait for them to get a couple weeks older till I do any washing like that? I'm relatively new to this all but I'm just trying to make things as comfortable as possible for them.
i love giving my cats baths and do flea treatment on them once a month.. they hate me throughout the whole process, but once they are nice and clean, they become assholes and don't wanna come on my lap... they're like.. "oh mama, you are so dirty, and I am super clean, duh" xD
Treep Dia It isn't necessary to bathe a cat that often, and can actually be detrimental to their fur and skin. Of course you know your cats best, but if it stresses them out and they don't enjoy it, I hope you'll consider doing it less frequently, if at all. Cats are self cleaning, and don't typically need assistance unless they are very young, very old, or have gotten into something toxic.
Treep Dia since my cat is half inside half outside I only give her a bath every once in a while not very often though
Treep Dia .
i usually just give my vat a bath twice a year atmost, since she is outside during the summer and often get's veyr very Dirty at times, during Winter it is really not needed as she stays inside

A really good flea deterrent I have found is a Flea Trap made by a company called Victor. It uses sticky circular pads in a plastic housing and uses a 7 watt night light bulb to attract the fleas into it and onto the sticky pads in the trap. Both the light and the heat from the bulb is what attracts the fleas to the trap. Been using two of them for years in my home and they do help tremendously to keep the fleas in control without using chemical pesticides. You can find these Victor Flea Traps at Home Depot, along with the refill packs for the sticky pads for the traps. Now this trap will take some time to finally eliminate the majority of fleas from your home, they sit on the floor on the carpet or bare floors. You'll be amazed at how fast the fleas will fill up these things though. When I first started using them, I had to change the sticky pads almost every other day for about 1 to 2 weeks, after that, I changed the pads about once a month, sometimes a little longer. And since the pads are white, you can see at a glance just how many fleas are in the trap. Once covered in fleas, you'll know when to change out the sticky pad, believe me it works very well, just change the pad and set back in place. Very easy to use and I swear by this product. The cats may still get a few fleas here and there, but it wasn't as bad as when I first started using these traps in my home. I also recommend one for each room in the house. I also use a chemical waterless flea and tick bath for cats by Vet's Best. I also use their Flea and Tick Home Spray for my carpets, cats bedding areas and can even be used on clothing as well as sprayed on the cat itself. These Vet's Best products are all natural and plant based, so there are NO chemicals in them. So far they have been working very well for my cats and home respectively. These Vet's Best products are usually found at PetCo and some other Pet Stores. And no, I'm NOT a spokesperson or salesperson for these products, just some products I have found that work very well for controlling fleas in and around my home, and on my cats and kittens. However, it does say for use on kittens 12 weeks old and over. So I don't use it on newborns or kittens less than 12 weeks old per the directions of use.
I love this cat. She has gorgeous blue eyes.

Crazycreative Diygirl I thought I did too. My partner and I rescued a 4 week old tiny kitten 3 days ago off a highway with cars driving over and next to him. His bottom lip was torn off the tissue and he was massively infested with fleas. It broke my heart to see how awful he was. 3 days later and he’s almost flea-free and loves his new home and toys. Sleeps next to us and is fattening up! He’s going to go to my friends home when he’s 7 weeks. My point is it’s extremely distressing to see them like that, despite knowing we’re saving him.

I have found simply using a warm bath. I set up a couple of bowl of water, submerge the body of the cat, and quickly wash the head with a toothbrush I the fleas try to escape by swimming. Then move her y to the second bowl, to get any lingering fleas, warm her up and dry, comb at the end repeat if necessary.

All you need is dawn dish soap and a flea comb also you need a little topper wear container so it can hold hot water and dawn dish soap so one you pick off the fleas you put them in the hot water and the die
that shit takes too long
@@blehahh9371 I’ve been doing this since yesterday! I’m pretty sure it’s working!🤍
I wish I would have watched this before I washed my fosters... haha!
God bless kitten lady and her helpers and subscribers
Thank you for caring I very much appreciate your work.
My son found a kitten today...he believes the mother got hit by a car. She was under the lawn furniture. Your video has really helped but how do i introduce her to my 3 y/o boy Maltese? Right now she's in the laundry room..
Lashonay Wil there are some videos on how you can introduce cats to each other
First take her to the vet! If she is sick, she might transfer diseases! Always quarantine!
One time my kitten jumped in the bathtub but I rescued her and put her in a blankie and she was so cute and cuddly!!!
She's so happy!!
thank you Kitten Lady sweetie! i truly needed to see this tutorial! i have two precious 8 week old sweeties and i just love them and they do need a good bath so i will do this procedure. Pray for me! lol!!!!!
Omg 0 dislikes yay i love u kitten lady ♥
any help for ringworm treatment? encouragement? tips? our rescue was housed with multiple other kittens before we found her and exposed. now we are freaking out!
Jules Wood I know this was 10 months ago so you probably got an answer, but I found that the over the course terrifying ringworm cream works well. I would use a paper towel and water to spot clean and dry the spot, put a good amount of cream on, then wash my hands with betadine to stop it from spreading. I also used gloves but the kitten didn't really like it. Also, I continued the treatment for a week after it was gone and vacuumed and lysol-ed a LOT. it was gone in about 4 weeks!
What a docile little kitty!
The kitten Ladys are wonderfull. Thanks for your Love.
Thank you for this video! All of my fosters so far have had fleas, and I've tried bathing them but the fleas keep coming back. Does it sometimes take more than one bath to get rid of them all? thanks for all you do, from one Hannah to another!
I had to give my baby kitten two baths to get rid of the fleas. She just had so many. While she was drying in the towel I hand picked them off her and dropped the fleas into a cup of hot soapy water to make sure they were dead.

You’d have to clean your house too
Know it's a bit late. But make sure where you're keeping them is clean of flea and flea eggs too. (that includes feeding space as well) because, of course if there are any fleas around it's gonna latch back into them.
I have a semi feral cat that had 2 kittens on January 3rd. They all have fleas. The mom won't let me pick up the babies. Is there something I could put around the nest to chase off the fleas?
Melissa Walker i had pretty good luck with "diatomaceous earth". it's a chalky white powder made from the fossilized remains of microscopic diatoms. i think it attaches to their exoskeleton and dehydrates them? either way, it's apparently pet/kid friendly. i guess it's also being sold as some superfood supplement now. so there's that. but just make sure you read the label, and you get the household-use/pest-control one. there's a type that's used in water filtration systems that isn't ok. also, avoid essential oils. cats are unable to break them down

Thank you. Don't want kittens getting anemic and all the stuff at the pet store is for 2lbs and up. Oddly enough even the all natural said at least 12 weeks old. These babies birthday is January 3

Wait a minute my friend's name is Melissa-
i just rescued a month old kitten today who seems so weak, i just gave her round one flea bath and she isn’t fighting at all. she’s just letting me do it and is now asleep in my lap and wrapped up in a towel. she’s such a sweet girl i really hope she’s okay
A flea bath by itself can save a kitten's life!
I remember the first kitten I got (she was a stray) she was so angry at me and my mom for giving her a bath and subjecting her to this cat "torture" but we noticed she was also happy and maybe even relieved after no longer feeling all those fleas constantly biting her
I use unvented Dawn. Is that ok?
I foster kittens and use Dawn all the time! :)
DAWN IS AMAZING! I have rescued 4 flea infested kittens, and each got a 30 minute bath with Dawn Dish Soap and never had fleas again. It doesn't have any harsh chemicals, you'd just wanna make sure it doesn't get in their eyes.
Unscented
It doesn't matter which type of Dawn. I don't think they have a "Super-Powered" version out on the market, so they are all calm and docile chemicals they'd use for softer hands. They also use Dawn for removing oil from animals during oil spills.
Just be careful on how often you use it. Since it breaks down oils, it can dry their skin and fur out because it strips it of it's natural protective oil and then they get all itchy, but it's safe.
Escape
Ok this is a big help. We are getting a kitten soon and I wanna be sure she's all good and clean since we have another in my home
Thank you for everything that u do. You inspire me to want to foster kittens!
my cat is name munchkin 😍😍😍😍
I am going trap 4 kittens and a mom Cat outside coming up next Sunday. They will be taken to the Vet Clinic the next day after trapping. Vet is going to Spay and Neuter them, give Rabies shots and distemper shots, and then put Revolution on them. The kittens look to be about 8 or 10 weeks old. I wanted to trap them sooner, but the Vet clinic wants them in a trap so that they can inject them through the trap to make them sleepy. The Vet clinic will put them back inside of the traps, and then I have to pick them up and take care of them for 1 day. Then the rescue people will pick them up and take them to a farm, and it is up to the farm people to keep them in cages until they are well an then release them on their farm. There is no foster care home for them since all is full. There is a cute Siamese Lynx Point in the group, I might try and keep it after the Vet stuff id over. I never tried to tame a Feral Kitten, and I do not know if I can. I already have 8 Cats in my house now. All Indoor Cats. I do not know if Revolution will remove the fleas and eggs from the Kitten ? I do not want fleas in my house. If I kept the Siamese Kitten in a cage I would have to keep it in the garage.
allexx123 oml ur legit torturing them.
Best video! Excellent and concise explanation and demonstration. You clarify important steps. Thank you!
Was it just me or was the camera trippin that first minute or so? Around 0:40
What's wrong with her lip
Magic Pigeon I was wondering the same thing
Magic Pigeon a bit of a nasty wound from being in the streets I assume. Its not infected which is a good thing.
I’m happy that you made a you made a KZhead channel because it’s adorable KZhead channel!
i'm afraid to bathe mine (9w old) i'm afraid she gets sick after bathing and dies 😭
My kitten is 8 weeks, and slightly underweight with fleas, so I HAVE to give mine baths, I always throw a few towels and a blanket into my dryer before I do so that he is nice and warm after he gets out. that way he wont get sick. only part that sucks is he HATES baths and his teeth are like tiny needles, it sucks to get bitten.
i've bathed mine, last week and everything went well, thank god! she's healthy and has no more fleas :)
Harubro Haruhara the warm towel idea is awesome!
sensorsweep thank you. It work well with girlfriends too.
She won't die :) I bathed a 4 1/2 week old that I saved a few days ago. I bathed her twice. Not in the same day, obviously. She did fine. She didn't like it but it is necessary. I dried her immediately off, for about 10 minutes. Then wrapped her like a burrito in a really soft blanket, and kept her on my chest area wrapped in my shirt and she slept. Then I took her out into the sun still in the blanket and in my shirt just to make sure her body temp. was good.
Hannah, everything is made of chemicals, and “natural” ingredients are not necessarily safer than synthetic ones. This is a common misconception.
Thank you thank you thank you! I’ve been trying everything to get rid of the fleas on my cat I never thought that dish soap was so effective thank you!
I have a adult cat she is a Indore cat but still got flees product etc don't work so I'll be giving her a bath even thonthisbis on a kitten it's really helpful and I started watching your other videos I'm planning on volunteering in my local shelter to help cats etc you are a inspiration thank you
Also soap rings around neck doesn't work either cos fleas jump and most animals already have fleas on there heads🙄
Thank you so much for your expertise.
ferretlady2008 true, but fleas trying to escape water, a comb/human fingers will burrow deeper into the fur to hide as well
Bumble Bee grammar/spelling attacks are silly. fleas do love to jump
ferretlady2008 I get the sense you didn't watch the video past that point.
She cleaned the head after the bath,did you even watch the full video?
This works!! Tried this technique on my two 5 month old kittens. After washing and rinsing them I still needed to comb out some live fleas - but it worked!
Thank you so much. I just got two kittens and since they had them outside (why I do not know), they have some fleas and I know they are too small for a chemical treatment. So I'm glad we can do something about their fleas so they won't suffer.
I just found a kitten and used your method. Thank you for posting this video, extremely helpful. One more kitten saved from fleas! 🤗❤️🐱
Me and my boyfriend just rescued 3 kittens from my work and this video was super helpful :)))
I just found a little Tortes shell kitten she’s so sweet but she was covered I mean absolutely covered in fleas and dirt and she had ear mights so thank you sm!
