Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge Expands to Rescue More Animals and Provide More Education
In 2023, we welcomed 33 new cats to the Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge Family in our new Freedom Field habitat expansion. In under one year, we completed the necessary habitats to relocate these tigers, bobcats, caracals, servals, and Savannah cats from sanctuary life in Florida to their new forever home at the Refuge.
We must fund the rest of our 44 Freedom Field habitats to prepare for the rescue calls we know will come. USFWS officials have forecast that thousands of big cats will need sanctuary over the coming years as they enforce the Big Cat Public Safety Act. You can become a part of TCWR’s legacy by sponsoring a Freedom Field Habitat Naming Plaque to help us complete our expansion in Spring 2024!
