Sad news /great news @ Tiger Sanctuary

Post by The Wiz » Mon Feb 02, 2026 2:10 pm

Since the beginning of Dec.we have lost 4 animals. 1 African lion, 1 tiger, 1 mountain lion, and 1 rascal of a raccoon. All of old age conditions. Good news is we have received 5 new tigers from South America that we were expecting. All made the trip in excellent condition and are about half way through quarantine. A cool thing is that they experienced their first snow falls and were rolling around in it. They have lifted our spirits from a sad Dec. :D

The sanctuary is located between Raleigh and Pittsboro in NC. Tucked away off of RT 64. Of the five, the tigress Deborah is the boss. Keeps the males in their place. Very vocal. The keepers thinks she going to be a Prima Donna and a star of the sanctuary.
