Movin' on up!
Sounds as though the kitty has ear mites. Mix a weak solution of 1 part alcohol to 10 parts water. Wrap a piece of guaze around your finger and gently swab out the ears. Just clean the part, that you can see - DON'T go into the ear canal. Then, put a few drops of baby or mineral oil into the ears, fold the ear flap down and massage gently. Let the kitty shake.

My stepdaughter is a vet tech and she taught me this trick. Its cheap and it works.

Did the vet do an exam under a microscope? If not, it might not be ear mites. Cats can also get yeast or bacterial infections in thier ears and often, it's mis diagnosed.
