Hello. There is a product called Lime Sulfur Dip that will kill just about any mites on cats. It is smelly, but very effective & very safe. You will mix one part dip in 16 parts water & dip your kitty once a week. It usually takes 3 dips to see an effect. You can also use Frontline Plus, but it does not get as many mite species as the dip does. Read the label on the dip because generally you need to keep a cat from licking or grooming itself until the coat is dry. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
