Chris Krauss 

Chris has worked very hard during his time with animal care! Chris is always enthusiastic and excited about whatever the animal care team is working on that day. He is always asking questions, and his passion for learning new information about the animals is obvious in his work ethic. Chris is on his way to Purple Tier. Great job! Thank you so much for all your hard work for the animals!

About Chris

  • Volunteer Position: Animal Care

  • Time at Carolina Tiger Rescue: This month marks one year of service for Chris, and in the last 12 months he’s dedicated more than 150 hours of his time!

  • Favorite Animal: “Favorite animal is a tough one! I adore them all, but being stalked by Nakobi or Anthony is always exciting. I  always enjoy seeing Mila and Riley and Ms. Tasha.”

  • Favorite Memory: “There are too many memories to state just one. Besides the obvious interaction with such amazing animals, my best experience at Carolina Tiger Rescue is working with such wonderful people both on the staff and volunteers, that devote so much love and time to all the animals and facilities. They all find time for you to answer your questions and/or request. It is a great honor and privilege for me to work with such remarkable animals and people.  Thank you for this recognition I am very thankful and humbled.”

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.
