Cat Face & Paw Set

Tanned Tabby feral cat paw and tanned calico donated pet cat face.
Both sourced within Australia 
Disclaimers- All cats caught, culled or found by me and my associates, or donated are checked for microchips. If a cat is not microchipped, but a collar is present, all cat owners are tracked down and cats return home. I am very rural, any cats culled on my property are not pets 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 scavenging animals (tassie devils) from also becoming road victims. 
 
All cats are scanned for microchips regardless. 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.
