Tiger Creek Wildlife Refuge in Tyler Texas.
Founded in Tyler Texas in 1995, Tiger Creek Wildlife Refuge is an animal sanctuary for
great cats that have been abused, neglected or displaced. Tigers and Lions were the original emphasis of the sanctuary, but have now expanded to take in and care for Leopards, Servals, Geoffroys, Bobcats and Cougars. Tiger Creek has recently branched out from only cats to include Madagascar Lemurs, parrots, raccoons, and a petting zoo area for kids that includes Goats, miniature Donkeys and Horses and of course the Tiger Creek house Pig: Kevin Bacon.
Tiger Creek is home to a few celebrity big cats - Siberian Tigers Sarge and Lilly were featured in Animal Planets “Growing Up Tiger”. The sanctuary has also taken in Michael Jacksons tigers as their trainer was killed in a car accident and no other home was available to them.
Tiger Creek Wildlife Refuge is located just north of Tyler Texas - near Tyler State Park - and you can find their schedule and events at tigercreek.org

Boondocking with Lions and Tigers and Cougars, OH MY!
Our very first boondocking excursion through Harvest Host brought us to Tiger Creek Sanctuary in Tyler Tx. This place is absolutely spectacular! The animals are beautiful and well taken care of. The staff is very knowledgeable and the guided tour was outstanding!
We can't wait to go back to visit again.
Tiger Creek was founded to rescue tigers and other big cats that can't help themselves. This sanctuary receives NO government funding of any kind. Their source of funds is the voluntary financial support they receive from generous folks like you.
BECAUSE of that support, they have been able to save tigers like the ones you see in this video and so many more! Without that support, these endangered tigers would surely not survive.

Tiger Tuesday: The American Tiger Presented by the Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge Education Team
We're excited about this week's Tiger Tuesday Talk because it answers a frequently asked question we commonly get: What kind of tigers do we have at Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge? Wildlife Interpreter Hannah with the TCWR Education Department is here to answer that question!
Ninety-five percent of the tigers in the United States and all of the tigers at Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge are American Tigers. These felines have muddled genetics, meaning they hold no conservation value and cannot be released into the wild. In the American Cub Petting Industry, the goal is to produce as many cubs as possible, which results in not only impure genetics from crossbreeding multiple subspecies of tigers, but also leaves these animals with a number of birth defects and often fatal genetic disorders.
The AZA, Association of Zoos and Aquariums, regulates true zoos and their Species Survival Plans. These places are working to repopulate tigers in the wild, focusing on the Malayan, Sumatran, and Siberian tiger subspecies. Currently, only 269 of the thousands of tigers living in the U.S. have been bred through accredited programming. As we stated above, this means that 95% of the tigers in the U.S. hold no conservational value and are irresponsibly bred, left with debilitating issues, in what is essentially a tiger mill.
Thankfully, there are ways YOU can make a difference!
-Support H.R. 1380: The Big Cat Public Safety Act to stop commercial breeding and shift the focus to tiger conservation. tcwr.org/advocacy
-Support only legitimate breeding efforts through the AZA.
-Support true sanctuaries who do not buy, sell, trade, breeding, or allow hands-on contact.
-Research any and every animal establishment you visit beforehand! We have a handy true sanctuary checklist on our website that can help at tcwr.org/sanctuary/.
-The most important thing you can do, if nothing else: SHARE this information with others! So many people who truly love and care about animals are supporting their abuse, neglect, and exploitation without knowing it. Cub Petting facilities, breeding organizations, roadside zoos, and scam-suaries capitalize off the good hearts of true animal-lovers. Don't let them win! Stand up for wildlife!

In 1978, the Jackson Family acquired their first lion, Bum, while living in NE Texas. Tanya Jackson Smith, current president of TCWR, was only 8 years old. In 1982, they acquired another lion, named Sheila. Although it wasn't easy taking care of the two lions in their backyard, the Jackson family was successful. Bum and Shelia moved from their home in Hope, Arkansas, to Eureka Springs when the Refuge was first started in 1992. They remained at the Refuge for their entire life. Through Bum and Sheila's demanding backyard presence, the Jackson's met many people who either had, or wanted to have, a big cat as a pet living under their care, at their home.
Twiss CatsKatherine Gordon Twiss, a breeder and black market dealer, showed up on the Jackson's doorstep with 38 big cats crammed into two cattle trailers. She was on the run from the law in Texas and desperately needed to find a home for the cats. A friend of the Jackson family lived on a ranch in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, and offered temporary refuge for the cats. Later the property was bought for a permanent home. The 38 big cats were moved to the nearly 500 acre ranch near Eureka Springs, which later became what today is Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge. The labor intensive job of quickly building temporary cages for the 38 big cats was completed. Twiss was impossible to get along with and moved all her 70 cats and 30 horses that she had picked up from around the country and brought them to the refuge. It soon became evident, by incoming phone calls from all over the country from big cat pet owners looking for a home for their cat, that someone needed to start a refuge, or sanctuary. The Jackson family: Don, Hilda, Tanya, and Robert, stepped up to this challenge and did what most would only dream of - sold everything; moved over 300 miles; and humbly went to work for the animals.
Today there are over a dozen reputable sanctuaries for big cats around the country, and Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge truly stands out as a frontrunner. The United States has thousands of its residents keeping dangerous big cats in their backyards, basements, garages, and warehouses. People acquire these animals as pets and soon find they have made a grave decision and turn to Turpentine Creek for refuge..
