I adopted a garden cat (very feral) about 5 weeks ago. So far, I have had a terrible outdoor flea infestation. I have asked for support from the Humane Society and gotten a polite, we cannot help you.
I may have to surrender him, which I loath to do. He will not let us approach him, to administer meds (no real surprise there) but he is heavily infested and will re-infest the area again. I have spent 4 days of time, and suffered about 30 flea bites, trying to mitigate the problem with pesticides. I have administered Capstar, one day flea killer to him twice. But unless I can get the topical treatment on his back, I fear another flea infestation.
If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate some help.
I am disappointed in the support from the Humane Society.
