It has been warming up here at Carolina Tiger Rescue and summer is fast-approaching, bringing with it more heat. Our tigers love to cool off in the same way a lot of humans do in the summertime - swimming!

With the changing seasons, came changes of scenery for a few animals at Carolina Tiger Rescue. Not only has spring hit the sanctuary, but Macano Coatimundi, Beau Cougar, Ranger Bobcat, and Talon Bobcat all moved to new enclosures in the span of a week!

Feeding is always an exciting time in the sanctuary. The animals get really excited when they hear the food truck being loaded up! Today, I am going focus on how, what, and when we feed our big cats, then later I will talk about how we feed our small cats.

I have an exciting update for you today! Beau Cougar has been moved to an outdoor enclosure!

If you have read Dr. Hunter's latest blog post, you know that Fenimore Tiger got his physical! This allowed us to get an ultrasound on his belly, take some blood to get in-depth tests on, and to get a good look at him. My job during the knockdown is very different than Dr. Hunter's.

Do you share a room with a brother or sister? If you do, you may know what it’s like to occasionally not get along with them and wish you had a room of your own. Our animals might go through the same thing with their enclosure-mates.

Our new cougar cub has a name! We are so excited to start calling him by his name and to hopefully get him used to it and used to having humans around.

What exciting news I have to share today! I was able to go on my first rescue yesterday and we brought a new cougar cub to his new forever home!

It’s a cold and dreary day here in Pittsboro, NC. It’s 40 degrees and rainy. In fact, we haven’t seen the sun in a couple days!
