You can buy Capstar and Frontline Plus here which will definitely kill all the fleas on your cat and prevent reinfestation.
http://www.drsfostersmith.com/
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.

If your cat has fleas, chances are you will know it nearly as soon as he does. He may scratch himself until he bleeds, be covered with tiny bites and black flea dirt, and you may even be able to see the fleas themselves jumping around in your carpet - or on your legs. If the flea infestation gets bad enough, you yourself may get a taste of what your cat is going through as you get a few painful, itchy bites of your own. In addition to the discomfort and unpleasantness, a flea infestation, if left unchecked, could lead to your cat’s developing serious health problems such as anemia or tapeworms. In order to rid yourself of a flea problem, you need to attack on three fronts - your house, your yard, and the fleas on your cat.Things You’ll Need:
Flea comb
Bleach
Shampoo
Topical flea control product for cats
Washer and dryer
Vacuum cleaner
Flea bomb for house/yard if needed
Professional exterminator if needed/wanted
Step1Comb your cat with a flea comb all over her entire body. Have a jar or bowl of bleach mixed with water nearby to dip the comb in as you collect the fleas in order to make sure that they’re dead as well as gone.
Step2Shampoo your cat thoroughly. You may use a flea shampoo made for cats, but you can actually use just any type of cat shampoo or even baby shampoo. The soap and water alone should be enough to get rid of any remaining fleas on the cat’s body.
Step3Apply a topical flea control product made especially for cats. These products are usually applied once a month to the skin at the base of the neck.
Step4Wash all of the cat’s bedding in hot water. Dry it in the dryer on high heat. The heat may not be necessary for killing any remaining fleas, but it is better to err on the side of caution.
Step5Vacuum the carpeting thoroughly, as well as vacuuming any bedding that could not go in the washing machine. A flea infestation can best be controlled by vacuuming on a daily basis and disposing of the vacuum bag or emptying the canister to get rid of all vacuumed-up fleas and flea eggs.
Step6Use a flea bomb or professional exterminator if the infestation is a serious one, but make sure all food and dishes are covered up and that all pets and humans are out of the house when the house is being treated. Make sure that the product used is one that is cat-safe, as well.
Step7Spray an outdoor flea treatment in your yard , again choosing a cat safe product and making sure that all pets and humans stay out of the yard for the length of time specified in the product’s directions. You may choose to hire a professional to take care of the yard treatment but if you do it yourself you’ll need to wear a protective mask and gloves

We have used Revolution for all our cats over the past six years. It is a broad spectrum product and our cats are indoor/outdoor. None has ever had fleas or ticks. The product also stops production of fleas from the eggs ingested when a cat cleans itself. Our only problem is that the cost has increased and the product can only be purchased from a vet or with a prescription (Most vets really argue goin to PedMeds.com or other sites, and may do so because they are losing the business)
We have also used Advantage. Newer versions are improved and cover more. If anyone has a good suggestion let us know. We stay away from collars.
