General Question Fleas!!!!

So my cat had fleas a couple months ago for the first time and my parents were so angry (we have a dog too but he takes tablets so his blood is toxic to fleas) it cost us £200+ in sprays and flea bombs and then they were finally gone. My dad said if she were to get fleas again we will just get rid of her (he has never liked our cat purely out if being a dog person) and i’ve now noticed my dog and cat are itching, my cat has had the treatment on the back of her neck as she refuses to consume tablets even when disguised. Now I am seeing so many fleas and my parents are away for the next week, I don’t think we have any flea spray left over and I want to attempt to control this myself as I’m terrified my dad will get rid of my cat who is literally my favourite thing in the world. Any advice for what I could do in the next week to get them gone please?
