My mom's cat died. She is on vacation. I have no money. How should I preserve the animal until it can be brought to a taxidermist. Right now I have it in my freezer, and that is very gross. Please give some advise so I don't feel so grossed out when drinking ice water.

Make sure you don't share your drinks with your lovable little furball.
If she actually wants it mounted/preserved then I would recomend you keep it in the freezer until you or she can take it to the taxidermis. Simply make sure it is well wrapped on a plastic bag. If she wants it cremated or buried, then the taxidermist is not the place to take it, though I would still leave it in the freezer. I'm afraid you'll just have to be grossed out for the time being.
By the way, if she does want it preserved, I hope she's ready to spend a goodly amount of money and do some searching to find a taxidermist that will take the job.
Jared, if you can find a taxidermist that will do it, talk to them and see if they'll store it for a spacific time till you can get the money.
When people ask me to do pets, I tell the $2000.....I haven't had to do one yet.
Now Jared thats because I don't want to do pets...if you shop around, you may find one that'll do it for substacially less.
