Does my indoor kitten need flea meds, worm tests, and a vet check?

Question

Yes my kitten olive is 10 months old. And is kept inside. Does she still need medicine for fleas. And does she need to be seen by a vet and be tested for worms. She's had a rabies shot. Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Female | spayed | 6 lbs

Indoor cats are less likely to get fleas but it does happen. If you have other pets in the house, the risk increases. It's up to you if you want her on treatment or not. Yes, she does need to be tested for worms, Felv/FIV and she needs to be current on her FVRCP (it's like a cat distemper). YOu can carry things like viruses in on your clothes. The vaccine is highly effective and safe. I hope this helps.
