Why Choose Advocate for Cats?
Advocate for Cats is a convenient monthly spot-on treatment that provides broad-spectrum protection against some of the most common parasites affecting cats in New Zealand. Designed for cats weighing over 4kg, it protects against fleas, heartworm, ear mites, lungworm, roundworm and hookworm in a single easy-to-apply treatment.
Unlike flea-only products, Advocate helps protect both against external parasites and several important internal parasites, reducing the need for multiple treatments throughout the month. It starts killing fleas quickly after application and helps break the flea life cycle by targeting both adult fleas and flea larvae in the cat's environment.
Because it is applied directly to the skin at the back of the neck, Advocate is a popular choice for owners who prefer not to give tablets or chews. The monthly treatment schedule is simple to maintain and helps provide year-round protection for both indoor and outdoor cats.

Fleas
Kills adult fleas and helps control flea infestations by targeting flea larvae in the environment.
Roundworm & Hookworm
Treats and controls common intestinal worms found in cats.
Ear Mites

Lungworm
