HI Toomany
First I just wanted to say I think what you are doing is amazing, bless you. I am sending {{{{{vibes}}}}} your way that kitty gets better and gain the strength to deal with all of this. I know its tough.
I wish I had some advice for you but Idon't have any expieriance in the area of a senior cat and their issues. So far it seems you have gotton some wonderful advice.
For the fleas, I do have some advice. The spray bottle unfortunately will not work, since you will need to rince it off after applying it. You need to rince it well. Also when we had fleas last year we learned that 20 Mule Borax works well in the carpet. You want to sprinkle it on the rugs and the take a broom and sweep it in so the powder goes to the bace of the rug and does not stay on the surface. Wait 3 hours and vacumm it up. If you can try to put all the cats in a different room while you are doing it. The more borax you use the better. Also chance the vacumm bag everytime you vacumm. Flea eggs hatch with vibration. When the eggs hatch the first thing tey breath in is the borax and sufficate. You can use borax on the furniture too. Just make sure the powder is pushed into the fabric so the kitties do not come in contact with it. Wash everything in hot water too. You can cut up a flea coller and put the peices into the vacumm bag to that will help kill them. Fleas spend only 10% of the time on your cat so you need to treat the enviroment as well as the cats.
I hope this is helpfull.
Bless you for all that you are doing. You really are an angel. Sending you hugs.
