Thanks, Kirby! I will definitely look up neem oil.

I'm not exactly sure how old the kittens are. I was told they were 7 weeks old when I got them, but they seemed way too small to be that old. I guessed about 5 weeks...which means now they are about 6-8 weeks old.

I am able to get low cost vaccinations from the local shelter. It would be $20 for each kitten to get their first vaccines and dewormer. That's not so bad - except that it's for 4 kittens, so it all adds up quickly. I've spent $100 so far in the last week just for food, formula and litter - and as a single mom without full time work, it's scary to be spending so much on them. But I don't want them to go without proper care. The dewormer is also a 3x treatment...every 2 weeks for 3 doses ...each....and that doesn't include an exam, testing them for feline leukemia...and one of them I believe has an umbilical hernia.

I know I need to take care of the flea issue - because that's going to be a nightmare for my entire home and is harmful to the kittens.

I did see that there's a charity program that provides free spay/neutering for all cats and dogs in my town. Woot woot. But then again, if I give up the kittens to the shelter, ALL of their medical expenses would be covered.
