Help! Cat won’t let me near to remove tick

Our cat has what I think is a tick on his head. DC noticed it this morning so I think it’s been less than 24 hours. I have a tick remover but he won’t let me near. I’ve tried waiting until he’s asleep, but he jumps up the second I put the tool near. I’ve tried wrapping him in a towel but he wriggles out. I’m the only adult here and DC are too small to either hold him or pull it out. Any suggestions? Thank you!

Can you try to get him while he is sleeping and lift his head by the scruff of the neck cause they tend to go all floppy and get in at the tick with tweezers or whatever?

when you towel wrap him get one person to hold him so he does not wriggle out and the other can remove the tick
