From the Mod Team Regarding Pleas for money:

Cats are a huge responsibility. Anyone who thinks otherwise, should not have one in their life. They are dependent on us for everything from providing a place to eat, to also providing vet care.

Anyone who has cats knows that they can and do get ill. Your best defence is to plan for that to happen before it does, and store monies away in preparation.

If you read about a plight of an animal on the internet and your heart is drawn to help. Check out the story thoroughly. Google the vet's name or call Directory Assistance in the city and be sure this is a legitimate claim.

Do not blindly send money into a paypal account no matter how heart-wrenching the story. Instead reach out to the member and ask for the vet's name and phone number, and arrange to send the money there for the specific needs of the cat in question.

If that information cannot be provided- you have your answer. Report the post to a moderator so that it can be removed for not being on the level.

Go to Walmart and get yourself a cheap bottle of Vinegar. Add vinegar to some warm water. You might get a pair of gloves on for this. Now mix 2 cups in the bath water. Now bathe the cat. This will kill all fleas, ticks, and eggs. It is a quick, cheap fix. Keep the cat inside till you can afford to buy the products yourself.

Dawn DIsh Soap is great but one draw back, it will not kill the eggs the fleas laid.
