in the UK frontline spray is licensed in nursing cats and in kittens from 2 days of age so you could potentially treat the mummy and her kittens with this. it is currently a prescription only spray so your cat will need to be registered with a vet to get it. be sure to read the instructions for dosage carefully and do not allowe the cat or kittens to groom each other until the spray is dry.
