TURPENTINE CREEK WILDLIFE REFUGE

Cedarhill Animal Sanctuary

Project Chimps

Lions Tigers and Bears

We have also provided materials for new platforms and shelters for the 18 lions and tigers coming from Guatemala. These cats have also been rescued by ADI from circuses.

Pictures of the new Animal Defenders International Wildlife Sanctuary in South Africa. We bought 42 large indigenous trees for the new sanctuary. These pictures are of the tree planting at ADI Wildlife Sanctuary in South Africa that will be home to rescued lions from circuses closing down around the world.

These are some pictures from the circus rescue in Guatelama. Jan Creamer and Tim Phillips from ADI are in Guatemala rescuing animals in the circuses that have been closed down. The animals have nowhere to go, and ADI is finding homes for them. The lions will be flown to South Africa to stay in ADI’s new Wildlife Sanctuary in South Africa.

WildCat Ridge Sanctuary

For 2019, Trees for Tigers is funding two bunker/mound features in two new enclosures at WildCat Ridge Sanctuary. In addition, two large trees native to Oregon are being provided (one Big Leaf Maple and one Northern Red Oak). The cats soon to be residents will be enjoying low horizontal branches to climb onto in the next few years.

“The hybrid cats are enjoying the creative perches and structures specially built for them in their beautiful new habitat by the volunteers at WildCat Ridge Sanctuary in Oregon – project funded by Trees for Tigers”

“The outdoor play area in the hybrid cat habitat has been expanded to include a second tier of perches, catwalks and bamboo bridge connecting the right and left sides.  The two Vine Maple trees provide lots of places for the cats to hide, play and sleep in this “mini forest” habitat.  Beautiful finish work and creativity at this sanctuary.

“These are the “after” pictures of the Capuchin habitat. Caregivers created a beautiful habitat”

Trees for Tigers funded the renovation of a habitat at Cleveland Amory Black Beauty Ranch in Murchison, Texas. Here reside two wonderful Siamang Gibbons named June Bug and Valentino (a brother and sister rescued from the exotic pet trade).

Junebug and Valentino are enjoying their new habitat funded by Trees for Tigers and created by the Siamang Gibbons’ caregivers. You will see that the structures needed to be very sturdy to withstand the strength of these beautiful primates.

The Wildcat Sanctuary

For 2020, bedroom remodels with platforms and bedboxes and new paint were completed. Mounds and boulders with drainage repair completed.

KEEPERS OF THE WILD

Bowie the tiger and Mazi the lion were part of the Big Cat Trio that was rescued from a back yard on a private property in rural Nevada. They are loving life at Keepers of the Wild and have new platforms provided by Trees for Tigers.

Trees for Tigers provided funds for a barn and shade complex for Hodor and Hoover, camels at Keepers of the Wild.

Hoover

I am a 15-year-old two-humped Bactrian camel. Recently, I lived in the Scottsdale area as someone’s pet, until they passed away. Then I came to live at Keepers of the Wild sanctuary in Valentine, AZ. Now I share a large natural enclosure with a Dromedary camel named Hodor. I had never seen another camel before in my life until I met Hodor. We like to eat a variety of foods, including alfalfa and orchard grasses, apples and carrots. Hodor and I plan on living long, happy, and healthy lives, as we camels can live up to 50 years. We are grateful to Trees for Tigers for building us a big barn, which we call “Casa Camelot,” and a big shade complex where we can eat our meals and get out of the sun whenever we want. We are getting along well together too!

Hodor

Hodor, the Dromedary Camel, belonged to a loving owner and was well taken care of at home. One time the 9-year-old camel was sent “on location” for a photo opportunity when he became interested in a bouquet of flowers that a human model was holding. He went to take a bite of the flowers and accidentally bit the model. So Hodor found a wonderful home at Keepers of the Wild.

We provided funds for repairs to many platforms, den boxes and hammocks at Keepers of the Wild.

Safe Haven Wildlife Sanctuary

Trees for Tigers provided much habitat enrichment at Safe Haven Wildlife Sanctuary including topsoil in several habitats, Austrian Pine trees, climbing platforms, rope for scratching posts, and a giant swing.

More Austrian Pine trees, a new pool and Sundara’s favorite toy, the Tipsy Tom.
