All it does it kill the adult fleas that are ON her, If she does have fleas, they will lay eggs, in the garage & the blankets you've put down for her, and those will not be killed, so then you still have a flea problem, as those hatch, the cycle will start again. Also be VERY careful, as you could bring a flea into your house, while visiting with her!#ed_op#/FONT#ed_cl##ed_op#/P#ed_cl##ed_op#P#ed_cl##ed_op#FONT face=Tahoma color=#c080ff size=4#ed_cl#The best product for fleas, is a product called Advantage (not the same stuff that WalMart sells!!) You can only get in a vets office, and it's a tub that you place in between their shoulder blades, once a month, and it kills all the fleas that are on her, within 12hrs, and then, when the eggs hatch, they fleas jump on her and don't even have to bit. They just come in contact with the Advantage and it kills them. Best stull for animals, but it can only be bought from a vets office.#ed_op#/FONT#ed_cl##ed_op#/P#ed_cl##ed_op#P#ed_cl##ed_op#FONT face=Tahoma color=#c080ff size=4#ed_cl#As for taking kitty to a vet.....is there not a pound in your area?? I know that the vet that I work for, works directly with the pound, and if somone finds a cat (such as you have done) they call the pound and the pound picks the kitty up, takes it to us, we treat it, (the county in which the pet was found pays the bills) and if you want the kitty when it's all healed up, you just pay a small fee and adopt it from the pound (fee always less than the vet bills). If they know that you want it when you give it over to them, they will let you know when it's ready to leave.....at least this is how it works in my area.#ed_op#/FONT#ed_cl##ed_op#/P#ed_cl##ed_op#P#ed_cl##ed_op#FONT face=Tahoma color=#c080ff size=4#ed_cl#Also, we have a kitty VERY MUCH like the kitty you have, at our clinic right now, and she is 9-10 years old, so it is quite possible that she's just a very little kitty. Do check her ears for a tatto....cause if she has one, then they will be able to track her owners down. (The kitty we have at our office has 2 tattoos, and she was found about a 20min drive from where she lived!!)#ed_op#/FONT#ed_cl##ed_op#/P#ed_cl##ed_op#P#ed_cl##ed_op#FONT face=Tahoma color=#c080ff size=4#ed_cl#Oh, and as for food, the best stuff that you can buy at a grocery store would be Iams.....and I believe that Zellers sells it for the cheapest I've seen, about $11.99 a bag.#ed_op#/FONT#ed_cl##ed_op#/P#ed_cl##ed_op#P#ed_cl##ed_op#FONT face=Tahoma color=#c080ff size=4#ed_cl#But congrats to you for picky up kitty! She really is adorable...I'd keep her if the hubby would let me!#ed_op#/FONT#ed_cl##ed_op#/P#ed_cl#Lix wrote:We did get her some food though - and some flea shampoo if we are ever brave enough to attempt that.
#ed_op#/P#ed_cl##ed_op#P#ed_cl# #ed_op#/P#ed_cl##ed_op#P#ed_cl#GoW - FYI - that rule isn't legal. look up the tenant protection act for ontario (i've been through this with a former landlord). they can stipulate all they want about nopets in the lease, or whatever, but it has no legal standing.#ed_op#/P#ed_cl##ed_op#P#ed_cl#according to the tenant protection act, your ;andlord cannot prevent you from owning a pet. i belive it's section 15....but not exactly sure. look it up! everytime i hear of people getting rid of pets becasue their landlord says they can't have it, i tell them about this rule.....the only way they can say no, if if they can prove the pet is destroying their house/apt/whatever.#ed_op#/P#ed_cl##ed_op#P#ed_cl# #ed_op#/P#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#GoDDeSSofWiNgS wrote:#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#awe I want a kitty now...stupid apartment with no pet rule. #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#P#ed_cl#
