Carolina Tiger Rescue

Over 20,000 visitors come to the sanctuary each year for guided tours, field trips, summer camps, volunteering and corporate work groups.Bleyman's intent was to keep a viable population of these animals in trust until their home habitats were sufficiently protected to support them again.Rajah and Kaela Tiger were found[3] wandering a rural county road near Charlotte, North Carolina when they were about six months old.One of Carolina Tiger Rescue’s main goals is educating the public on the dangers of private exotic cat ownership, circuses and wild animal exploitation.Carolina Tiger Rescue is a no-touch facility and meets USDA and US Fish and Wildlife standards for a big cat sanctuary.Carolina Tiger engages in a variety of partnerships with the academia/research, environmental, and sanctuary and zoo communities, as well as the corporate world.BCSA membership is limited to bona fide facilities that meet the federal definition for a wildlife sanctuary.
