World-Class Support for Science er Math
Carolina Biological Supply Company, afamily-owned company based in Burlington, North Carolina, has been
serving science professionals worldwide for more than 80 years. Our vision is through innovation, quality, and
service to be the most valued teammate of every science educator. Carolina Biological offers a diverse collection
of anatomical specimens and is recognized as a leading supplier of products for students and teachers of the
biological sciences.
As a proven and accepted part of their professional training, pre-medical, pre-veterinary, and pre-dental students
utilize animal cadavers to help them master the skills required for their chosen careers. Access to .carefully
prepared, high-quality animal cadavers gives these students valuable, hands-on learning opportunities and
relevant experience with anatomical structures, functions, and surgical techniques. It is worth noting that
veterinary students use animal cadavers to practice and perfect procedures that will ultimately be used to
rehabilitate and treat other animals.
In order to serve the growing market for properly euthanized, anatomically prepared vertebrates such as cats,
Carolina Biological is actively seeking additional sources for these specimens. Carolina Biological does not deal
in live cats and will only purchase specimens from licensed shelters after the animals have been properly
euthanized. The USDA regularly inspects our facility and our records, and we take great pride in explicitly
complying with all appropriate regulations.
Our mission is to redirect, for educational purposes, animal cadavers that would otherwise be incinerated, offered
to a rendering service, or placed in county landfills. We understand the disposal method of the cadavers is costly
to the animal control shelters and humane societies that must pay for these services. By participating in our
program, shelters and humane societies gain a new source of revenue that could be used to offset euthanasia
expenses, to pay for spay and neuter programs, or to purchase needed supplies and equipment.
Each year communities are forced to spend taxpayer dollars trying to cope with the consequences of the
overpopulation of cats. It is our hope that we can achieve a mutually beneficial arrangement for all parties. Any
county animal control shelter or humane society participating in our program can choose to cancel with written
notice at their discretion.
For your information, here are a few local NC shelters currently participating:
• Alamance County, City of Burlington, NC
Contact: Becky Mitchell (336) 578 -1386
• Iredell County, NC
Contact: Cathy Brown (704) 878 - 5426
It is our sincere wish that the information outlined in this program has been helpful and we hope you consider our
proposal favorably. Please feel free to contact me at your convenience if you have any questions. We welcome the
opportunity to work with you in the future.
