Tea tree oil is highly toxic to cats and should never be used in or on them for anything.
It would not do a thing for worms. Neither will any other "all natural products" you might come up with.

I'm not cetain but I think tea tree is for external application only.
As it's a young cat I would go to the vet for a good wormer instead of messing about with over the counter stuff. I don't know how it is in Canada but in the UK I can get a single tablet from the vet whereas stuff from the pet shop usually means trying to get lots of tablets down him and that is not fun - trip to the vet is easier than pet shop then doctor !

I wouldn't advise tea tree oil unless vet recommended. Your local vet or pet shop can help you with worming tablets or powder to be given orally or in it's food. Wash thoroughly after touching your cat as these are highly contagious and try to get your cat treated asap.if you worm your cat every 3 to 6 months this should not recurr. Hope you you get your cat sorted. Yvonne x

I would check with your vet before administring any medicine to your cat. espically since she is just a baby. And since she is has worms I would take in her in ASAP.

JIKES!!
no, dont give him tea tree oil. shame! it tastes like
crap, and essential oils arent supposed to be taken internally.
just take him to the vet, they will fix him one time.
