Carolina Tiger Rescue also opened their doors to three of the infamous Tiger King tigers. All three are on the tour path of the sanctuary. Picture below our Samar, Shayla and Naveen. As mentioned previously about the inbreeding of white tigers, they are left with other health concerns. Shayla suffers horribly from a neurological condition. Her gate is extremely abnormal as well as seeming off balance. The keepers at CTR have built rails on her enclosure platforms to keep her safe. Samar and Naveen are located at the start of the tour path and give the humans lots of chuffles as they approach.

Next up is Bowie Serval. There about 18 servals currently at the Carolina Tiger Rescue. The servals are African wild cats that are known for their long legs and huge ears. They have the fastest paw strike of any of the cats, striking in 1/60th of a second. Their large ears can rotate all around, allowing them to hear 6 inches under ground. Servals are often bought as an exotic pet, and then around 2 years of age, the owner quickly realizes they are not meant for being a companion animal. As you can hear our guide say, mostly they like to hiss and are on the “spicy” side as we say in vet med. So I felt honored Bowie was talking in this video. Maybe it was the chicken they gave him! SOUND UP!!!

Saber Tiger is probably my favorite Tiger at Carolina Tiger Rescue. He was rescued from a road side magician. He was declawed, which just like when you declaw your domesticated cat, leaves them without digits, it isn’t just the nail being gone. It makes it so the feline doesn’t walk how nature intended them to, causing them to have arthritis and gate abnormalities. His canines were also filed down, leaving the nerves exposed( they have fixed that at the CTR so he is not in any pain in his mouth anymore). Very white tiger in North America is related to the first white Tiger Muhan in India. To get this recessive gene the animals are in**ed, leaving them with other health problems. Saber’s severe crossed eyes are an example example of that. In these pictures he is making a very silly face, but he is actually smelling! When cats smell something and then make this face, it's called the "flehmen response," which is a natural behavior that allows them to better analyze scents by using a special organ on the roof of their mouth called the vomeronasal organ.

This is cougar Beau! Cougars have the widest range of territory of any of the big cats. You can find them from British Columbia through North America and down into Central and South America. Because they have such a wide range of territory, they also are referred to by over 40 different names so when you hear the ones, we are most familiar with like cougar, panther, nitney lion, mountain lion, catamount, and Puma just to name a few- they are all referring to the same animal. Their long tail and muscular rear legs make them excellent jumpers they can go from sitting to jumping 40 feet. Their long tail also acts as a sort of Rutter, making it so they can change direction to hunt their prey so easily. They also the largest of the cats that can purr.

Our tour guide explaining how the “chuffle” you hear Samar Tiger making in this video was actually used as part of the sound of Chewbacca from Star Wars.

Another successful volunteer work group out at the Carolina Tiger Rescue. I’ll be posting pictures and video and educational moments throughout the day for everyone to enjoy to start. Here is Roman lion. SOUND ON!!!! Roman lion and the female lion Reina, who used to be his enclosure mate before her passing last year were both saved from the incident in Zanesville, Ohio for those of you who may remember years ago, a owner of a variety of exotic species opened all of the animals enclosures And then committed su***de. Unfortunately, most of the animals left their enclosure at dusk/early night time when these types of animals are most active and in hunting mode. So 50 something animals were killed. There were only a few who never left their enclosure, Roman and Reina were two of them. They were then saved and brought to live here at the sanctuary.

Ok pals, let’s make it happen for this guy. Meet DeNiro. Doesn’t he look like Robert DeNiro? He is around 9-10 years old. His original owner was unfortunately admitted into a memory care facility. His family wanted to make sure his beloved cat was cared for. So DeNiro is looking for his new fur-ever home. He is a long haired, blue eyed boy. He is neutered, FelV/FIV negative. He is current on all his vaccines. Message me directly for information on applying for his adoption!

Trying to get a final headcount for next weekend’s volunteer event at the Carolina Tiger Rescue. I have a few more spots open, so if you are interested, let me know! We will be volunteering on site and working within feet of these gorgeous animals. It is only a half day event and does come with a guided tour. Definitely my favorite rescue ever!
