My new kitten is flea-ridden! All I have on hand is flea spray for my rabbit. Will it hurt the kitten?

Why not.. it all contains the same ingrredients and there is nothing that is particular for a rabbit that is not workable on a kitten or dog... Go for it and hope the little kitty gets rid of its fleas.. It is very very uncomfortable for an animal to have fleas..

NOOOOOOOO do not do that many types of flea spray most of them in fact make cats very very ill even have caused death.And a kitten should never be flea sprayed . The best type of flea treatment for cats and kittens is either Advantage or Frontline drops get them at your vets. Or you can order it online never ever use any type of Hartz flea products on cats

Is your new kitten a rabbit?? That should answer your question. If it was for all animals, they would call it 'Animal Flea Spray'.
Spend the extra 3 bucks and get some kitten spray.

Buy flea spray for kittens because spraying flea spray for a rabbit on your kitten could poison it. So go buy a flea collar or something for cats.

No, dont do that, until you talk to a real vet. If the kitten has a lot of fleas you can very carefully bathe it in Dawn Dishwashing liquid, Very small amount. You did not say how old the kitten is. If it is under 3 weeks talk to a vet before doing anything, if its over 4 weeks you can very gently bathe the kitten in lukewarm water.

do you not like your kitten?
Well of course that isn't a good idea. Not all cat flea meds can be used on kittens, it depends on your kitties age. Go and get advantage or program from your vet. You can also get a pill for about $3 called Capstar, it kills all fleas on your cat for 24 hours (knocks out one whole lifecycle, makes it easier to get the fleas under controll)

Just give the veterinarian a call. Tell him the age of the kitten, and ask what should be done to kill the fleas without harming the kitten.

No, they are two completely animals,, and I doubt it would work. This best stuff out there for flea and tick control for cats is revolution. This is one of the newest products on the market, as they kill fleas, the larvae, ticks, it circulates through the blood stream to prevent heartworm and hookworm. If you want your cat to stay flea (and tapeworm free as fleas transmit tapeworms) then buy this from your vet, your kitty will be happy you did. Hope this helped

No! The spray could possibly kill it.
Get advise from the vet as to what type of flea treatments are acceptable for your kitten.

I'm not sure, but it might. I think you should buy a normal flea spray for your cat. It might not be very healthy to be sprayed with a rabbit flea repelant. Just buy one for cats.
