Giving Tuesday

Giving Tuesday at Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge

One Day. Lifelong Impact.

Every rescued animal at Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge has a story of survival. Many arrived after enduring neglect, exploitation, or life in the exotic pet trade. Giving Tuesday is your opportunity to help write the next chapter—one filled with healing, safety, and hope.

For one day, people around the world come together to make a difference. By choosing to support Turpentine Creek, you’re helping provide nutritious diets, expert veterinary care, enrichment, habitat maintenance, and lifelong sanctuary for animals that have nowhere else to go.

Unlike many organizations, our commitment doesn’t end after the rescue. It begins there.

When you give on Giving Tuesday, you’re investing in every day that follows—the quiet mornings, playful enrichment sessions, medical treatments, and peaceful afternoons that rescued big cats, bears, and other exotic animals deserve for the rest of their lives.

Whether you make a donation, sponsor an animal, shop our gift store, or simply share our mission with friends and family, your generosity creates lasting change.
