“Tiger Creek Animal Sanctuary is my favorite place in east Texas. Thanks to donations from amazing donors over the past few years, all the big cats are in large enclosures now. This was a plan/dream of theirs when I had first visited 7 years ago. It was nice to visit old friends and see some new ones. Each animal here has its own story as to why it needed a new loving safe space. Skanda was in a grumpy/talkative mood, but just as beautiful as always, it was great to see him again. Its primarily large cats like tigers, puma, cougar, lions, but their kind hearts have also taken in some other critters in need. Come get up close with some magnificent creatures and donate to a worthwhile animal sanctuary.”- Treece R.
