Carolina Tiger Rescue is a 501(c)3 nonprofit wildlife sanctuary whose mission is saving and protecting wild cats in captivity and in the wild.

 

The 2019 Pawcasso calendar is here and it’s sure to brighten up your desk with playful masterpieces created by our furry friends. You’ll love to flip the page to sneak peeks at the upcoming months’ images. Tio’s Reflection on Spring is particularly compelling, with vibrant colors and lots of movement. Naturally, Lily and Macano Coatimundi made Together… well, together, as a team. Rajah’s Blue Obsession is inspired by his favorite enrichment scent, Calvin Klein’s Obsession.

Painting is a form of enrichment we use to allow our animals to use their instincts in new and exciting ways. We pour the colorful egg-based tempera paint onto paper and encourage animals to playfully pounce, smear, lick, kick and mash the paint around the page. If you’re interested in participating, contact us and we can help you schedule a really cool experience.

 

Because most of our rescues never had the chance to make decisions (do I want to run through tall grass or crouch near a rock?) we always allow them the option to participate in any enrichment activity we think they’d like but never force it. 

Don’t miss all of our favorite animal masterpieces.

Wildlife should be in the Wild

Rescue

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.

Virtual Field Trips

Education is key to our mission.  We enjoy teaching "kids" of all ages!  Our field trips, both virtual and onsite, are ideal for groups of kids.  Our "Kid for a Day" Adult Camp provides a unique learning opportunity while allowing adults to channel their inner child.  While all of these opportunities are structured differently, in the end we want everyone to walk away knowing more about the animals we care for and what they can do to help protect them.
