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.
Alissa has been a delight to be around, and we love her upbeat personality and positive attitude! She has not only excelled in animal care, Alissa has helped new volunteers in that area learn the daily routine, how to clean enclosures and prepare food for the kinkajous. Alissa has also encouraged her students to make enrichment! They students have crafted some of the awesome holiday-themed creations we have used for our enrichment tours. Please help us thank Alissa for her dedication, leadership and creative energy to help the staff and animals!
