Feral Cat Skull | B Grade | Randomly Selected

This listing is for one randomly selected feral cat skull.
These skulls are considered A2 grade (B grade) because they have been collected as roadkill, supplied by farmers or contract shooters in rural Tasmania. 
Some may have 1-3 missing teeth, slight damage to the bone, e.g., a fracture, bone damage from a tooth abcess (common in ferals), or slight weathering from the elements. 
 
I try my best to restore all skulls without adding an additional cost. They have been professionally cleaned to high hygiene standards, and none have been boiled or bleached. 
 
These are not pet cats; these are feral cats that are abundant in Tasmania. Farmers in rural areas need to necessarily cull them to protect livestock from disease (toxoplasmosis) and smaller animals from becoming prey. Some rural properties will hire contract shooters, while other cats were collected from the roads and cleaned up as we do with all roadkill in my area to protect savanging animals (tassie devils) from also becoming road victims. 
 
All cats are scanned for microchips reguardless. Even if they are very rural, if someone has dumped an animal, we want to know. Any cat found with microchips has the owners tracked down, or the cat is passed onto our local vet, and the situation is dealt with accordingly. 
Dumping cats is extremely irresponsible but an activity that still occurs quite regularly. If you are caught dumping a cat or kittens, penalties apply. 
All feral cats are culled on private property by authorised contract shooters; cats are not taken via trapping or culled by shooters in national parks, crown land, or private property unless authorised by the land holders to do so.
