TCWR’s Capital Campaign

Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge Expands to Rescue More Animals and Provide More Education

In 2023, we proudly welcomed 33 new cats into the Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge family through our Freedom Field habitat expansion. In less than a year, we completed the habitats that now provide safe, enriching forever homes for tigers, bobcats, caracals, servals, and Savannah cats.

With all 44 Freedom Field habitats now complete, our focus turns to ensuring their long-term maintenance and the lifelong care of the animals who call them home.

You can become part of TCWR’s lasting legacy by sponsoring a Freedom Field Habitat Naming Plaque. Your sponsorship directly supports ongoing habitat upkeep, enrichment, and daily care—ensuring these rescued wild cats continue to thrive for generations to come.
