This is what it says on my package of wormer, it's called Profender spot on

Kittens 6 to 16 weeks of age should be wormed every three weeks.

From 4 months onward cats and kittens should be wormed every 3 months.

Hope this helps.

The rescue told me to do Samson monthly but he's due for his booster jabs next month anyway so I'm going to ask the vet while I'm there.

With her history lisa i would worm her monthly with either drontal or milbemax, liquid wormers are very messy for bigger cats and personally i dont rate panacur.

Your vet should be happy to give you a drontal or milbemax for Rosie and Portia should be wormed every 4 weeks until she is 6 months old.  The milbemax tablets are a lot smaller so much easier to give.

How are your girls now?  Is Portia any better?
