Toriel the Tortie

So I was dropping a co-worker off and took the backroad home. On the way I found this poor little critter laying on the side of the road. She'd just been hit by a vehicle not more then 10 or 20 minutes before I got there :c

We have a terrible stray cat problem in our city, so I see cats hit a lot on our roads. She'd been in the freezer for a little over 6 weeks now, and with no one answering my adds about a found cat, I've decided to keep her for myself. 

She will be skinned for taxidermy in a few weeks and will remain as a pelt for the time being. I will also be cleaning her bones and potentially articulating her.

Once again, this cat was roadkill, and I did all I could to locate an owner prior to working on her.
