Revolution for Cats is a monthly topical parasite preventive containing selamectin. It is used for flea control, heartworm prevention, ear mites, roundworms, and hookworms in cats when selected appropriately for the animal’s weight and health status. U.S. customers may review options with US delivery from Canada when that service is available for the selected product.
Revolution for Cat Price and Available Options
The Revolution for Cats price shown on the product page should be compared against the selected presentation, weight band, and pack size. Because this medicine is supplied in single-use tubes, the number of tubes in the package is a key part of the monthly cost. A larger pack may cover more months, while a single-dose presentation may suit a short-term plan or a sizing change for a growing kitten.
Check that the listed option matches your cat’s current weight range. Common cat presentations are organized by bands such as up to 5 lb, 5.1–15 lb, and 15.1–22 lb, although availability can vary by market and lot. Revolution for cats 5 15 lbs and similar weight-based choices are not interchangeable with heavier or lighter bands unless your veterinarian has directed that exact option.
The cost of Revolution for cats can also be affected by quantity, packaging, and whether the selected listing is a single tube or a multi-pack. Compare the current listed price with the total number of monthly applications in the pack, not just the package name. This helps you understand the price for Revolution for cats in practical monthly terms without assuming a dose change.
Quick tip: Weigh your cat recently before selecting a weight band, especially for kittens or cats gaining or losing weight.
How to Order Revolution for Cat Online
To order Revolution for cats, select the topical presentation that matches the product details your veterinarian recommended, then review the pack size and checkout information carefully. The active ingredient is selamectin, so you may also see the product described as revolution selamectin for cats or revolution topical solution for cats. Those names should still be checked against the brand, species, and weight band on the listing.
Some prescription and order details may be reviewed before the product is released, depending on the medication, destination, and information supplied. BorderFreeHealth supports cross-border access through licensed Canadian pharmacy services, with prescriber confirmation used when required. Keep clinic contact information current so avoidable delays are less likely.
Before checkout, confirm three practical details: the cat’s weight band, the quantity of tubes, and the intended monthly schedule. If your cat is close to the edge of a weight range, ask your veterinary team which presentation should be used. Do not split tubes between animals or combine tubes unless your veterinarian specifically instructs you to do so.
What This Topical Treatment Does
Revolution flea treatment for cats is designed to manage several common parasite risks with one monthly skin application. On the coat and skin, it kills adult fleas and helps stop flea eggs from hatching. In the bloodstream and tissues, selamectin helps prevent heartworm disease and treats or controls certain internal parasites listed on the label.
This medicine is commonly used for cats exposed to fleas, mosquitoes, or environments where parasite eggs may be present. Indoor cats can still encounter fleas brought in on clothing, other pets, or visitors. Mosquitoes can also enter homes, which is why veterinarians may discuss revolution heartworm prevention for cats even for animals that do not go outside.
Revolution for cats ear mites coverage can be useful when scratching, head shaking, or dark ear debris points to a mite problem, but an exam is still important. Ear infections, allergies, and foreign material can look similar. If your cat’s ears are painful, swollen, or bleeding, do not rely on a parasite product alone.
This product does not provide tick coverage. Searches for revolution flea and tick for cats often mix Revolution with Revolution Plus, which is a different product. If ticks are a concern in your area, compare the need for tick protection with your veterinarian before choosing a flea and parasite preventive.
Forms, Strengths, and Weight Bands
Revolution feline products are supplied as premeasured topical tubes. Each tube is intended for one monthly use on one cat within the labeled weight range. The tube size is selected by body weight, not by the number of fleas seen or the severity of symptoms.
Color-coded packaging and weight-band labels help reduce selection mistakes. Still, it is worth checking the exact product at delivery and again before use. Cats, dogs, puppies, and kittens may have similar-looking parasite products, but species-specific labeling matters because concentrations and safety margins can differ.
| Product detail | What to check | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Species | Cat-only presentation | Dog products should not be substituted for cats. |
| Weight band | Current body weight | The tube is selected by labeled weight range. |
| Pack size | Number of tubes | This determines how many monthly uses are included. |
| Active ingredient | Selamectin | This confirms the product class and parasite spectrum. |
Revolution for kittens may be considered only when the kitten meets the labeled age and weight criteria. Growing kittens can move between weight bands quickly, so avoid buying far ahead if your kitten is gaining weight fast. If you need a kitten-specific presentation, compare the current listing with Revolution for Puppies Kittens only after confirming the label is appropriate for your animal.
How to Use the Monthly Topical
Use the tube that matches your cat’s prescribed or veterinarian-recommended weight band. Part the hair at the base of the neck, place the tip directly against the skin, and empty the full tube in one spot. Do not massage the area, and avoid touching the site until it is dry.
The treatment is usually used once a month. Set a calendar reminder for the same date each month so protection does not lapse. If you miss a dose, give the next one when remembered and restart the monthly schedule from that date, unless your veterinarian gives different guidance based on local heartworm risk.
If your cat licks the wet product immediately, a bitter taste may cause drooling or lip-smacking. This reaction is often brief, but call your veterinarian if vomiting, weakness, tremors, or unusual behavior occurs. Separating treated pets until the site is dry can reduce accidental licking by another animal.
Why it matters: Correct placement helps the liquid stay on the skin instead of the fur.
Storage, Handling, and Travel
Store unopened tubes in their original packaging at typical room conditions, away from direct heat, flame, and strong sunlight. Do not open a tube until you are ready to use it. Keep the product out of reach of children and pets, because the liquid is concentrated before it dries on the skin.
When traveling, keep the next monthly tube in a secure pouch with the product label or receipt. Carry-on storage can help avoid temperature extremes in checked luggage. If your trip crosses the date of the next dose, set a reminder before leaving home rather than relying on memory during travel.
Bathing plans should be discussed with your veterinarian or checked against the product label. As a practical step, apply only to clean, dry skin and allow the site to dry fully before close contact. If your cat needs medicated bathing, coordinate timing so parasite prevention and skin care do not interfere with each other.
Safety Basics Before Buying
Most cats tolerate selamectin well when the correct cat product is used as directed. Mild application-site effects can include temporary hair clumping, flaking, redness, or a greasy patch. Some cats may show brief drooling if they taste the medicine.
- Skin changes: mild redness, scaling, or irritation.
- Digestive signs: soft stool, reduced appetite, or vomiting.
- Behavior changes: brief drooling after licking.
- Rare concerns: lethargy, tremors, or weakness.
Do not use this product in cats with a known hypersensitivity to selamectin. Ask your veterinarian before use if your cat is very small, underweight, debilitated, ill, or recovering from surgery. Broken or irritated skin can also affect comfort at the application site.
Seek veterinary help promptly for persistent vomiting, severe lethargy, tremors, loss of coordination, or suspected ingestion of the tube contents. Use only cat-labeled products for cats. Some parasite medicines made for dogs can be dangerous when used on felines.
Interactions and Monitoring Questions
Tell your veterinarian about other flea products, dewormers, heartworm preventives, medicated shampoos, supplements, and prescription medicines your cat receives. Using multiple parasite treatments together can increase the chance of skin irritation or overlapping drug exposure. Your clinic can help decide whether products should be spaced apart or avoided.
Monitoring needs depend on your cat’s parasite risk and history. Cats with recurring fleas may need home treatment steps, including vacuuming, washing bedding, and checking other pets. For roundworms or hookworms, your veterinarian may recommend fecal testing to confirm whether additional care is needed.
If your main concern is a heavy flea outbreak, a short-acting oral flea treatment may be discussed separately from monthly prevention. Capstar For Cat Dog is a different product used for rapid adult flea kill, while Revolution is a monthly topical with a broader labeled parasite spectrum. For browsing by condition, the Fleas and Ear Mites product lists can help you compare categories without replacing veterinary guidance.
Compare With Related Options
Revolution is often chosen when a cat needs flea control, ear mite treatment, heartworm prevention, and selected intestinal parasite coverage without tick protection. If your cat needs tick coverage, your veterinarian may discuss a different product or class. Revolution Plus is not the same formula, so compare active ingredients and label directions carefully.
For dogs in the household, do not share feline tubes or estimate doses across species. Dog-specific products are listed separately, including Revolution for Dog. If you are reviewing broader pet parasite options, the Pet Medications category can help you navigate related listings by animal and treatment type.
Product selection should reflect your cat’s local parasite risks, weight, age, health history, and tolerance for topical products. The best comparison is not only the number of parasites listed. It is also whether the exact presentation fits the animal that will receive it.

What does Revolution do for cats?
Revolution for Cats contains selamectin, a topical medicine used monthly for several parasite risks. It kills adult fleas, helps prevent flea eggs from hatching, prevents heartworm disease, and treats or controls ear mites, roundworms, and hookworms as listed on the label. It is applied to the skin at the base of the neck. It does not cover ticks, so cats in tick-prone areas may need a different or additional plan chosen by a veterinarian.
Do cats need Revolution every month?
Revolution is designed for monthly use when a veterinarian recommends ongoing parasite prevention. Consistent timing matters because gaps can reduce protection against fleas and heartworm disease. Many clinics advise year-round prevention, especially where mosquitoes or fleas remain active, but the right schedule depends on local risk and your cat’s health. If a monthly dose is missed, ask your veterinary team what to do, particularly in heartworm areas.
Can Revolution be used for kittens?
Revolution may be used for kittens only when they meet the labeled minimum age and weight for the selected cat product. Kittens grow quickly, so the correct weight band can change between orders. Do not estimate by age alone or use a tube meant for a larger cat unless your veterinarian confirms it. If your kitten is very small, ill, or underweight, ask your clinic before starting any topical parasite medicine.
What side effects should I watch for after use?
Commonly reported effects are usually mild and may include temporary hair clumping, flaking, redness, or a greasy spot where the product was applied. Drooling or lip-smacking can occur if a cat licks the wet medicine because it tastes bitter. Contact a veterinarian promptly for persistent vomiting, severe lethargy, tremors, weakness, trouble walking, or suspected ingestion of the tube contents. Keep pets separated until the application site is dry.
What should I ask my veterinarian before choosing this product?
Ask whether the parasite spectrum fits your cat’s lifestyle and local risks, including fleas, mosquitoes, ear mites, and intestinal worms. Confirm the correct weight band, how often to use it, and what to do if your cat is between sizes. It is also helpful to ask whether tick coverage is needed, whether fecal testing is recommended, and how to coordinate Revolution with other flea products, dewormers, medicated baths, or skin treatments.
