Deflea or die
North Taranaki SPCA is dealing with a case that highlights the need for people to deflea their kittens.
Wilbur the kitten, believed to be about 3 weeks old at the time of his rescue, was admitted to the shelter last week.
As well as being seriously underweight the wee kitten was crawling with fleas.
"When he came in he was really cold and he was riddled with fleas," North Taranaki SPCA centre manager Andrea Collins said.
"We spent ages picking off fleas. In the end there was so many we had to bath him, dry him with the dryer and de-flea him with Frontline Spray."
