Our standard formalin preserved cats, dry-packed in vacuum-sealed plastic bags, one per bag. Each specimen is thoroughly preserved and completely injected (except for appendicular veins, which may not be filled entirely because of valve closures). Plastic bags and waterproof student name tags are furnished free with each cat.
