Tiger Creek Animal Sanctuary

Max - LionFor more than 30 years, Tiger Creek Animal Sanctuary has been a place of second chances—rescuing, rehabilitating, and providing lifelong care for animals who have nowhere else to go. Nestled on 173 acres in Tyler, Texas, the sanctuary is home to more than 40 species, including tigers, lions, lemurs, and foxes—each with a story, each deserving of a safe and secure future.

At Tiger Creek, rescue is just the beginning. As a true sanctuary, we are committed to lifetime care, ensuring every resident receives proper nutrition, expert veterinary attention, and enrichment that supports both physical and mental well-being. This is not temporary care—it is a lifelong promise.

Our impact extends beyond the animals in our care. Through internships, volunteer opportunities, and immersive educational field trips, Tiger Creek inspires thousands of guests each year to better understand wildlife, conservation, and the critical role we all play in protecting endangered species. These experiences spark curiosity, build empathy, and help shape the next generation of conservation advocates.Pomfret - Tiger

As a nonprofit organization, everything we do is made possible by the generosity of our supporters. The cost of caring for exotic animals is significant—from daily diets and habitat maintenance to specialized medical care and enrichment—but the impact is immeasurable. 

Your Giving Tuesday gift directly supports:

• Daily nutrition and specialized diets ($10,000/month)
• Veterinary care and ongoing medical needs ($7,000/month average)
• Habitat upkeep and safe, enriching environments
• Educational programs that inspire conservation action

When you give to Tiger Creek, you are doing more than making a donation—you are providing safety, dignity, and lifelong care for animals who depend on us, while helping ensure a future where wildlife is respected and protected.

Rescue today. Conserve tomorrow. Protect forever.
