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.
Carolina Tiger Rescue is open to the public for guided tours, by reservation only.
Private and Group Tours
Your tour will take you on guided half-mile walk to meet some of the world's most endangered species. Your guide will personally introduce you to tigers, caracals, servals, ocelots, binturongs, and kinkajous, explaining the rescue stories that brought them to Carolina Tiger Rescue and the issues that their kind face in the wild. The tour will last approximately 1 1/2 - 2 hours, depending on the group's involvement.
Private tours may be scheduled to begin between 9am and 3pm by special arrangement. Private tours must be arranged 2 weeks in advance; public tours require reservations, but not two weeks advance notice to schedule.
