Cakelady,
I grew up with dogs but have cats these days due to my lifestyle. Fleas are a problem here due to the climate. I use "advantage" on the cats and it works really well, no flea problems at all until I forget to give them a dose. They're indoor/outdoor cats by the way.
There is a vet in HPP although I've never used their services, but I've heard good things about them. On the other hand, I use Aloha Veterinary Center in Hilo and have had no cause for complaint so far. Many years ago I had to have a kitten put to sleep there due to an incurable illness and Dr Rodrigues sent a hand-written letter of condolence. I thought that was very special - a personal touch if you like. My other two cats are still alive due to him and he's a really nice guy as well!
Although I recommend Aloha Vet, it is a 30-minute drive from HPP, so you have to consider that as well.
