This is not a common mite in NJ. There are certain legalities for doing grooming practices in his facility and he hasn't had to do it in over 25 yrs.

Some veterinary clinics will do them. Otherwise your best bet is to call some groomers. If the treatment doesn't work, you may need ivermectin injections.

I assume you mean cat fleas. If your cat gets fleas unfortunately they will spread in the house and you may feel them biting you, although they will not live on you like head lice. Prevention is better than cure and you can treat your cat with Frontline so fleas never become a problem. You will get this from your vet. If your kitten is only 8 weeks, it's likely he hasn't had his injections yet in which case you can ask your vet about flea prevention and worming when you take him for his jabs. You shouldn't let your cat outside until he's 6 months old anyway so fleas won't be an issue until then.

The easiest way is to put the cat in a large rubbermaid storage box so you can pour the dip on him and sponge it all over--head, face, underneath, etc. Then let him air dry. This is a stinky process, and best accomplished in the garage or outside (with cat restrained in a harness). Most vets will dip for you--we do at our practice. Your vet should have gone over the procedure with you in detail--why didn't he???
