I found a stray kitten. I posted picks and he's not microchipped. I've bathed him but he's still scratching. I have a flea free dog and would like it to stay that way. What is safe to use? I hear horror stories about some treatments.

The kitten needs to go to the vet and get an accurate weight in him. (Can also have the kitten dewormed and vaccinated if you haven't already.)

If the kitten is at least 2 lbs, you can give him a CapStar pill which will kill the *adult* fleas on him. Then, you can apply a topical...Frontline, Advantage, Activyl, Revolution. All of those topicals are available at the vet's. I have used all 4 of the listed and Advantage works best for me and my cats.
