jillsjourneys@gmail.comHow do you move five Big Cats from one trailer to another and then into larger enclosures? It was easier than I expected or so it seemed as I watched a video of four tigers and a ti-liger rescued from a Kansas farm by Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge in Eureka Springs. Well, easy unless one of them lies down and refuses to move.

Turpentine Creek is one of the very few USDA licensed facilities for large carnivores in the U.S. It rescues neglected or unwanted Big Cats and provides them with a safe home in a caring environment on a 450-acre ranch.
Each of these animals – lions, tigers, and even bears and more – has a unique story. The ones that I’ll never understand are those of people who brought a Big Cat into their home, and thought they could domesticate it. Turpentine to the rescue!
The wildlife refuge constantly builds new habitats and shelters for its growing population. It’s a fun place to visit, especially with kids.
