Rescue Story: In 2016, the owner of a Colorado-based cub petting and breeding operation was detected with cancer, and might no longer run his lucrative business. Turpentine Creek got the 12-acre closed-down exhibit center to allow our rescue of the 115 animals onsite. There, we discovered huge cats suffering in confined cages with lightweight plywood dens that were alarmingly exposed to public locations.
Onsite records revealed extremely little history of veterinary care however revealed that the owner had ties to Joe Exotic, and was breeding his huge cats to provide other entities within the cub petting and show business.
TCWR staff and interns invested 6 months both on-site taking care of the animals and in the moving of every animal to recognized sanctuaries throughout the country. After 6 months and lots of miles took a trip, all animals were positioned in permanently houses for a 2nd possibility at life and 34 of those animals concerned Turpentine Creek. Joey is among those 34 animals.
