Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge is striving to see the end of the big cat and bear trade, within our lifetime. Allowing these magnificent animals to enjoy life without fear, abuse, abandonment, or neglect; letting them be the wild animals they were truly meant to be. Through education, advocacy, and quality care for our current rescues, we are making strides in changing the mindset of a nation. As a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, our mission is to provide lifetime refuge for abused and neglected “Big Cats” with emphasis on tigers, lions, leopards, and cougars. We have created a place that these animals can finally get the care and piece of freedom that they deserve. With your help, we will be able to expand our public educational outreach, education programming, and continue to rescue animals in need.
