You can buy cat flea medicine online from several reputable pet pharmacies and major retailers. Depending on whether the treatment you want (like Revolution Plus or Credelio) requires a prescription or is available over the counter (like Advantage II or Frontline Plus), these platforms will either need to contact your vet or let you check out immediately.
If you tell me which specific medication you are looking for (or your cat's approximate weight and age ), I can help you figure out if it needs a prescription and where to find the best deal.

If you want fast knockdown of an existing infestation, nitenpyram (Capstar or an FDA-approved generic) is also OTC. FDA says it can be used in cats/kittens at least 4 weeks old and 2 lb, with effects within a few hours; it isn't a month-long preventive by itself.
Important: Buy a product specifically labeled for cats and select the correct weight range. Never use a dog flea product on a cat—some dog pesticides can be dangerously toxic to cats.
If you tell me your cat's age and weight, I can narrow this down to the best 2–3 treatments currently available online and compare their prices.
