Sleeping Salem kitten

Mummified black kitten in sleeping position 

This sweet kitty was only 6 weeks old when she passed away from an accidental outdoor drowning and was donated to me by her owner. This specimen has been gutted and stuffed to kept its original shape.

Dry preservation care: 

Keep dry: High humidity introduces moisture, which can rehydrate the tissue and trigger mold or bacterial rot.

Maintain stable temperature: Keep the specimen away from heat vents, air conditioners, etc. Drastic temperature swings can cause tissue to expand and contract, leading to cracks.

Avoid direct sunlight: Display your specimen in a shaded area. UV rays quickly fade fur pigmentation and break down brittle skin cells.
