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.

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.

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.

There are so many ways to be a part of Carolina Tiger Rescue. Individual volunteers are able to help in many aspects of our work, including animal care, tour guides, construction, and gift shop assistance. Work groups come from community groups, colleges, work places, and more! It’s a great way to spend a day and it helps care for the cats.
