I love the tour with the safari guide talking about where their cats are from and how they have their animals neutered to stop them from further population and allowing them to live peacefully the remainder of their life at resort. Rare sight and all profits go back to current animals on hand and helping rescue more.

Great place to take the family to see and learn about these magnificent animals. The staff and tour guides are very knowledgeable and friendly. Best of all its a non-profit, all proceeds go back to the animals they help at the sanctuary.

This sanctuary truly cares about the animals and what's best for them. They animals look healthy, habitats are large and clean, and they put the animals needs first and foremost.
Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge is the premier big cat sanctuary in the United States. Most of our big cats and bears come to the sanctuary from the exotic pet trade. TCWR offers lifetime refuge to all the animals in our care. You can visit any day of the year (except Christmas) to learn more about the plight of these animals. TCWR needs your help, visit today. We are open from 9am-5pm in the spring & summer; LAST TOUR LEAVES at 4:00 p.m.. Masks are currently ONLY REQUIRED IN THE GIFT SHOP.
