I wanted to know if there was anything to prevent fleas on kittens. She's only 6 weeks old and she spends most of her time outside.

I would recommend that you get a flea spray (like Frontline Spray), spray it on a dry towel, and then rub the towel on Minnie. You can also bathe her and use a flea comb to remove fleas off the skin. When she turns 8 weeks old, there are several products that can be used at that time.
