Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge

The sanctuary primarily focuses on the care of tigers, but it also provides a home for a diverse range of other animals including lions, hybrids like ligers, cougars, servals, bobcats, bears, jaguars, leopards, hyenas, and caracals.

[2][3] Turpentine Creek is a member of the American Association of Zoo Keepers,[4] and in 2014,[5] it achieved Verified Status from the Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries.

To accommodate this massive number of cats a secondary area was built, which is now referred to as "Rescue Ridge".

[citation needed] By September 16, 2015, all of the small concrete cages that used to make up the majority of Turpentine Creek were emptied.

The vet hospital is on Turpentine Creek's property and makes giving the animals medical attention easier.
