Wildlife should be in the Wild

Education

  • We believe the ideal home for wildlife is in the wild.
  • We believe it is critical to conserve their native habitats.
  • We believe wild animals should not be kept as pets.
  • We believe captive breeding should ONLY be done in accordance with Species Survival plans.
  • We believe all wild animals, both captive and in their native habitats, deserve to be treated with respect and not exploited for entertainment and commercial purposes.

Public Tours

Twilight Tours

Coming out for a tour is a great way to learn more about the animals that call Carolina Tiger Recue home. We offer many different types of tours.  Public tours are great for adults and families. Twilight tours are for adults only (18 years of age and older). Tiger Tales are a perfect option if you want to bring out really young children. Find the tour that is right for you and enjoy a walk through the sanctuary.

For all tours, tickets must be purchased in advance.

Dr. Chloe Wilde is our wildlife biologist. She studied ecology at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill. Her favorite topic of study is conservation. Dr. Wilde is passionate about learning about and teaching others about how they can help wild cat populations, including reducing their use of products with palm oil in them. Though Carolina Tiger Rescue does not have any, Dr. Wilde’s favorite animal to study is the clouded leopard.

It’s giving Tuesday today and we want to share with you all about this special day and why it is so important to the Carolina Tiger Rescue family. Giving Tuesday started in 2012 as a simple idea, a day that encourages people to do good. Over the years, giving Tuesday has grown into an independent nonprofit and worldwide movement that encourages people to give to others, work together and celebrate generosity.

Carolina Tiger Rescue is a nonprofit organization that relies on donations from generous donors to care for the animals we rescue. During this giving Tuesday campaign, we are hoping to raise funds for a large transport truck and rescue trailer. We never know when we will get the call for a rescue and having this equipment allows us to act quickly and ensures that our rescues arrive safe and healthy. We would not be able to care for and rescue these amazing animals without our generous donors and we are grateful for days like giving Tuesday that allow us to raise funds for the animals in our care.
