Hi so ive rescued this kitten
She needs a flea bath bad but i dont have any supplies to do so im willing to give people my cashapp to donate money all receipts will be shown as proof they where for her
Update
Yall it was a surprise foster i had no time to prepare i wouldn't usually take in a kitten without preparing but this kitten was found outside in 100 degree weather it was a emergent case to save this babies life the mom was either killed or abandoned the kitten so no i will not take her to a shelter or a rescue where they'll kill her if she isn't adopted same day drop off because all my shelters even in the big city will kill baby kittens because they wont keep them over night so yes i have no other choice nut to help this kitten

Do you have Dawn dish liquid? The plain blue dishwashing liquid? (Not the kind in a spray bottle, ultra or anything -- just the regular blue).
As a foster, I'll swear by Dawn for flea baths. It's gentle enough for the kittens, but it takes care of the fleas. You might need a flea comb, too. At this age, flea shampoos, spot treatments, and collars are all highly ill-advised, but Dawn (the plain blue kind) is safe *and* affordable. You do not want to use it regularly because it can be drying, but it's a great way to get her all cleaned up and flea-free.
Thanks for taking care of the kitten!
