Yes it ia sbsolutely ok to treat her for fleas. I would use a spot on such as Advantage or frotnline Plus or similar spot ons. and you can get some Pyrantel Pamoate from your veterinarian to worm her (it is a liquid, that does not taste terrible) or a Drontal for cats tablet.

Feli D tablets seem to contain praziquantel and pyrantel pamoate, both of which should be safe to use in a nursing queen. The kittens are actually old enough to be dewormed as well if necessary, but you may need to use a different product since they are small.

Hello and welcome to Boop by Petco. There are many over the counter products available in pet stores in the U.S. that are good dewormers. Milbemax, Revolution, Drontal, Strongid, Panacur, are some examples. I recommend calling your local vet to ask which products are most efficacious and available in your area, and you can get them from the store. For feral cats, the biggest problem is getting the medication into them, so you can talk with your vet about pills vs. liquids. If you are feeding them then a tablet in the food might work, but only if you are feeding them separately. Best of luck with the kitties!

A dewormer containing praziquantel ( https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/bayer-tapeworm-dewormer-tablets-for-cats ) will clear tapeworm infection. You may have to repeat the deworming in 2 weeks. After, you can submit a stool sample to your veterinarian to confirm resolution. Boots had to have ingested a flea at some point since that is how the tapeworm is passed. Fleas are the intermediate host. Treat him and the environment for fleas just to be safe. Treat for 3 consecutive months, preferably year round, with an oral or topical flea preventative. Wash all bedding and vacuum everywhere. Use an area treatment as well.
