You can buy Capstar and Frontline Plus here which will definitely kill all the fleas on your cat and prevent reinfestation.

Use the Capstar right away. It will kill all fleas on your cat with in an hour. Then after an hour add on the frontline Plus and it will keep fleas off your cat for 30 days. No vet visit required and totally safe.

Frontline contains fipronil, which spreads via the body oils killing fleas within 24 hours and ticks within 48 hours. Ticks are generally killed before they bite, decreasing the risk of tick-borne disease transmission. Approved for use on kittens 8 weeks and older.
Frontline Plus also contains (S)-methoprene, an Insect Growth Regulator, which prevents an insect from maturing or reproducing. Approved for use on kittens 8 weeks and older.
You can use FRONTLINE flea and tick control once a month and it’s completely waterproof. Provide your cat with the best flea and tick protection, right from the start.

Capstar - Treats flea infestations on pets. Starts killing adult fleas on the pet within 30 minutes. One dose lasts 24 hours. Use when pets are likely to be exposed to fleas. Also may be used prior to surgery, boarding, or grooming. Active ingredient is Nitenpyram, which interferes with the normal nerve transmission of insects, effectively killing them. Not a preventive. For pets over four weeks of age. Package of 6.

groom it, bathe it, out a flea collar on, or, if you want to go take him to the vet and have to pay a bunch of money, ask the vets if they can do it for you.

A flea collor? Interesting choice for a vet... You're very negative towards vets for being a "vetinarian" with 7 years of experiance. Strange and unheard of.

Flea collars are a great idea, and they make medications that get rid of them too.

Flea collars are actually very ineffective and don't kill the fleas all over the cat. They are localized to the neck only.
