Welcome to Tiger Creek Wildlife Refuge, home to currently 39 rescued big cats and 2 bobcats. Come meet these majestic animals, learn about the feline species known as Panthera Tigris and find out how you can help to ensure their future in the US and worldwide.

We started Tiger Creek for a very specific purpose: "To provide rescue and rehabilitation of big cats that have been abused, neglected or displaced."

It continues to be our guiding mission. One day, we may be consulting with the United States military on how to catch escaped tigers that were set free from the Baghdad Zoo. The next day, we may be providing advice to local authorities or providing a bed for a stray or abused tiger. Yeah, just call us softies for a big cat in trouble. We confess.

We opened Tiger Creek to the public for the purpose of promoting stewardship through educational opportunities for people of all ages. See? We're pretty focused.

With a mission like ours we sometimes feel we need super-hero costumes just to get the work done. We're committed to it. Which is a good thing since the big cats here like to eat. A lot! Frankly, we prefer to stay several steps ahead of them on that matter. So we keep getting up everyday … enthusiastically!

We're glad that you're here, so… have a good time.
