Review:

North Carolina’s Carolina Tiger Rescue protects and saves wild cats. Animals in their care include tigers, lions, cougars, and leopards, as well as smaller cats such as servals, ocelots, and bobcats. Open by appointment only, the rescue offers public tours on Fridays and weekends. Trained volunteers walk visitors through the sanctuary as they describe the hardships animals face both in the wild and in captivity. Special tours include private experiences, and twilight tours, where visitors spend after-hours with the animals in a more relaxed and quiet setting. While photographs are welcome, no tour offers physical contact with the cats.
