As someone who has been working with dogs and cats in veterinary and kennel settings since I was 16 years old (5 years ago), I can tell you that flea collars suck, and a bath will not get rid of the fleas.  To kill fleas within an hour, you should go to the vet and get a Capstar pill to feed to your cat.  The fleas will die and fall off your cat within the hour.  These pills are very cheap.

To prevent fleas from infesting your cat in the future, I would recommend a monthly pill called Comfortis.  It works better than Frontline and Advantix, and is about the same price if not cheaper (depending on where you go).  Other animals cannot be poisoned by it, as it is a pill that your cat will eat and not a spot-on liquid or a collar that will be on the surface of your cats fur.

If your cat NEVER goes outside, comfortis may not be necessary after the first month.  I would still give it to the cat the first month though, just because fleas will very likely be in your house for up to 30 days after jumping off your cat (or you).  Spray your whole house with flea killer and you can take some time off that, but I would still give the cat some Comfortis after giving her the Capstar just to make sure that all the fleas (larva and adults) will be killed within the month.
