Tigers in America
When Tigers in America shut down a notorious tiger breeder and cub petting business in Colorado, along with our sanctuary partners Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge, we needed to provide new homes for 75 tigers who were living at that facility. We reached out to a number of true sanctuaries asking for their help. Providing a good life for a tiger is a major commitment of time, care and money. A healthy tiger will eat 12-15 pounds of meat daily and requires enough space to be able to run and play as well as interesting things to do. The Colorado tigers were listless and anxious by turns, and living in barren hardpan cages with no shade and substandard diets. Cheryl and Mike Tuller fell in love with two sets of young tiger brothers who had been brought to Colorado when they were 1 to 3 weeks old in order to fuel the cub petting business. Now 3 and 4 years old, the tigers were basically being warehoused in Colorado. We were thrilled when WildCat Ridge volunteered to give them a new beginning. WildCat Ridge built new habitats for these tigers and the tiger boys came alive, running and playing and developing their true personalities. Now with new names, Calvin and Hobbes and Atticus and Scout are playful and rambunctious young tigers who enjoy their new lives every day! See them enjoying WCR and where they came from in Colorado.
