ok, thanks, i thought you were referring to the spot on stuff.
i might try phoning around tomorrow after school to see if there are any
vets that don't cost as much or who would give out the flea control but i
don't think that they will, odds are i'm going to have to bring them to

the
vet next thursday since they have no appointments open tomorrow and that's
when my vet has vacination days


Laura,

Some vets will sell Advantage or Frontline without seeing the cats because
they are so routinely used for fleas. Be sure to tell them the age of your
kittens.

FWIW, we have used Advantage on kittens as young as four days old.
Use just a drop. If the kittens are older, you can use more, but you
need to be careful. This is an off-label use, and is not currently
recommended by the makers of Advantage. But, it works, and IME, is
safe.
