I had to bring my 2 remaining outdoor cats inside. They had roamed my woods and lived on top of my furnace in the cellar for 12 and 14 years. They had fleas.... lots and lots of fleas. I used Capstar and then put them on Frontline Plus to eliminate the infestation. Worked well. They both moved into an apartment with me.

Unfortunately, we lost Gabby the following year to a heart issue. Andy, going on 18, is still with me.
