Carolina Tiger Rescue, formerly the Carnivore Preservation Trust, is a 501(c)3 nonprofit wildlife sanctuary whose mission is saving and protecting wild cats in captivity and in the wild.
Feeding with a Keeper
Participants learn the types of food that carnivores consume, their dietary needs, and how animal keepers interact with the animals during a feeding. Individuals will work alongside an animal keeper during food preparation and distribution (approximately 2.5 hours), seeing firsthand what it takes to care for exotic carnivores.
Please note: Feeding carnivores is messy, so participants of the "Feeding with a Keeper" experience may be exposed to raw meat, blood, and other unpleasantries. Participants should expect this and dress appropriately.
