Legacy Giving

Leave a Legacy for Big Cat Rescue

Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge is not just a sanctuary; it’s a beacon of hope, a haven for animals in need of a second chance. Yet, its mission extends far beyond mere rescue; it’s about providing a forever home where animals can thrive, heal, and live out their days.

Supporters of TCWR are the heart and soul of achieving this mission each and every day. Your generosity fuels the sanctuary’s vital work, enabling it to rescue and care for animals, provide top-notch veterinary care, and offer educational programs that impact the world. But there’s a profound way supporters can leave a lasting legacy and ensure this mission continues for generations to come – by including the sanctuary in their wills.

Leaving a bequest to the Refuge is more than a financial decision; it’s a testament to one’s commitment to rescuing animals. And, perhaps most importantly, leaving a gift in your will to Turpentine Creek is a powerful statement of hope. It’s a declaration that, despite the challenges facing animals today, there is still reason to believe in a brighter future.
