What flea and ear mite treatments are safe for my pregnant cat?

Question

I currently am in care of a pregnant cat, I noticed one of her ears had brown stuff in them and then noticed 2 fleas. I picked them off and have not found any more since but I was wondering if I can use veterinary formula flea and tick shampoo on her and if natural care plus flea and tick home spray will be safe to use on the carpet and furniture. Also from the picture provided does it look like she may have ear mites as well? If I can not use these products on her what are some I can use?

Veterinary formula flea and tick shampoo cannot be used on pregnant cats, so do not use it. I would use either Advantage or Revolution, both are safe to use on pregnant cats. The home spray is fine, but do not allow Sophie in the room where you use it until it's completely dry. Have her seen by a vet to diagnose what is causing the debris in her ears, which could be due to yeast, bacteria, or ear mites. I hope this helps!
