Depending how old your kitten is will better help me with this question. If it is a younger kitten ask your vet for a dewormer. They will give you this white looking liquid in a syringe to give to your baby a few times. This should also take care of hookworms as well. If she is a little older she also can have a product called revolution which is a topical that is applied once a month (between the shoulder blades) that controls fleas, roundworms, hookworms and heartworms. Fleas or eating rodents/small critters is how kitties get roundworms. So if your little one is an outside kitty this problem will be a constant battle. Only one bad thing about revolution it doesn't control tapeworms but they have a new topical called Profender that is supposed to take care all of hooks, tapes and rounds. We just got it in our clinic so I don't know how well it works but it sounds exciting!!! Please though do not get your wormer from a retail store (I know I am going to get a lot of messages me booing me on this but oh well) I have seen lots of reverse reactions at the clinic or it not working at all.

The kitten and a fecal sample should go to the vet and get a check up and they can tell you exactly what parasites the kitten has, and give you the right wormer.
The kitten needs vaccines also.

Stop feeding them if you are no longer going to handle them. By feeding them you're ENCOURAGING them to have toddlers. Just go away them on my own. The best humane factor you'll be able to do is get them constant. There is NOTHING humane approximately drowning or suffocating kittens. Freaking positioned an advert up on craigslist and deliver them to any person, after which do not come close a cat once more, ever, in your complete lifestyles. You're a egocentric, ignorant pig. People such as you disgust me. I wish your karma comes again and a few psycho drowns you.

Your vet will prescribe the right wormer. If you have any other pets in the house you will probably have to treat them too. Make sure you follow your vets instructions on cleaning the litter box to prevent reinfestations. Don't forget the kittens shots and make sure to spay/neuter. Good luck to you.

take a sample of stool to your vet and have them properly identify the intestinal parasite so they can get you the correct dewormer. it would be best to take the kitten too to ensure they have a correct weight. This will also allow the vet to perform an exam and get vaccinations caught up
