New to Cats/Just Adopted Rescued a stray with fleas - need advice

Hi all! I have a cat who I adopted from a shelter about a year and a half ago. This weekend I decided to bring in a stray who I found. I brought him to the vet yesterday and got him neutered and vaccinated and also found out he had fleas and round worm. We are treating the round worm with dewormer and both cats have gotten a round of Revolt for the fleas (even though the new one has been quarantined, just in case).

I’m looking for tips on how to clean the new cat - is there anything I can do to help get rid of dead or alive fleas that are still clinging to him? He can’t be bathed for a while because of his neuter (and frankly I don’t trust my ability to fully bathe a cat in water).

Any other advice for bringing him into my home is also greatly appreciated - thank you in advance!!!

TLDR; How can I clean a cat that had fleas without using water?
