I order Revolution from CanadaVet, and it also comes from overseas. It takes 10 days to two weeks, to arrive, and it comes from either Australia or Singapore.

I hate to keep repeating this mantra, but I question whether tampering with ferals is really a good idea. Of course, I have disagreed with the neutering programs because I would like to see more ferals, not less. But, I live by the law of unintended consequences. If I don't know what is the consequence of medicating feral cats I assume something will result that I won't like. Is this a product on my ruthless belief in natural selection? No, not really. It is my belief that the cats have a higher power too and that they are where they are for a reason. I love the deer too but I am not checking them for ticks and sprinkling stuff on their salt lick.
Has anyone had success in treating a feral cat for a severe flea allergy and probable ear mite infestation? Do the products sprinkled on wet food help rid the cat of fleas? Is there a product which is safe for cats that will kill ear mites as well as fleas that can be sprinkled on food? I am attempting to trap him to take to vet for exam, neutering, immunizations and treatment for any parasites but until I can accomplish this, is there anything that can eliminate the flea and ear mite problems for this feral cat who will not let me touch him but comes regularly for food? I would appreciate knowing what has worked for others.
there is a flea treatment that was used in the 80's it;s still avaliable, it's called "program" it's put in the cats food. it's lufenuron, can also be in tablet form. I used to give it to my cat all the time, the one side effect is that the base of her tail lost it's fur. It did get rid of her fleas though
Yep, so do I. Good service from this vendor, and so far the Revolution is working very well. Had to switch from Frontline Plus back last fall, because it just stopped working.
FYI- I had already found this source for Revolution, but just for laughs I went to my local vet to see what they would charge. They wanted $153.00 for a 6 pack, which is more than double the online price for the same product. I politely declined.
I found this online store in Australia that allows you to purchase many pet products that require a prescription here in the U.S. and for about half the cost. Please feel free to check it out, I have ordered several times and had no problems. Here is the link to the store and specifically Revolution..

Thank you very much for that link. Took a look and they are even cheaper than where I'm currently getting it. Looks like I can save about $20-$25. I'll give them a shot next time. Very much appreciate the tip.

They are where they are because of humans not caring and abandoning them ... so anyone that is a true animal lover should do all they can to make sure they are at least loved and cared for. I now have 3 feral cats that I adopted from a shelter. They are are siblings so they get along with one another just great. They have been in my home for about 3 months and I have been amazed at the progress we have made. When I first brought them home they would not even come out of their carriers for 2 days. Slowly but surely they found a safe place to hide and would come out only to eat or use the litter box and only when I was not around. Now they come out when I am around and sit on the floor close to me and are very relaxed. 2 have now meowed and the other still chirps to communicate with his siblings. They even play with each other in the open now. When I move I just have to make sure I move slowly and I can now walk by them without them running. I give them treats by shaking the container and they come running... then sit on the floor and line a few up so they have to keep coming closer with each one. That has proven to be the best way to get close to them and I am amazed just how far they have come in such a short time. Since I live alone they only have to learn to trust one person and that is an definite advantage I am sure. They are still wary of my every move but I get within inches now. All I know is that they are going to be great pets and all the time and effort to earn their trust is going to make it worth it all....
I found generic Capstar & Program to be extremely effective. You can get them online at Amazon or Ebay or FleaKiller.com I put the pill in human tuna & the kitties eat it up. I even give it to my two indoor cats since they can't stand the topicals

There are people who are taking strays (and sometimes ferals), and wanting to turn them into indoors-only pillow cushions in forever homes.
Cats need outdoors exposure. People who want to get involved with them need to make that extra effort.

My 9 (previously feral) cats love my home that is filled with numerous cat trees, perches, toys, love and never ending food and water (and medical care when it is needed).
Four of them also have Cerebellar Hypoplasia and would have never made it living outdoors in the colony. All of them had URI's that required treatment (or they could have possibly died). In fact NONE of their healthier siblings in the colony are even still alive :-(
So hmmm......feral outdoor with lack of water, food, exposed to disease, ticks/fleas, tom cats, fights etc is better than an indoor home that provides everything they need??? I have to STRONGLY disagree with you. However for those that cannot take in ferals and want to still help them I am a strong advocate for being a colony caretaker.
