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.
Black Beauty Ranch
Our new project with Black Beauty Ranch includes upgrades to the Lar Gibbon habitat, the capuchin habitat and new in-ground pools for Tibor and Sammi, two American black bears. Here are the “before” pictures of the habitats. Stay tuned for wonderful things to come!

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.
Cleveland Amory Black Beauty Ranch
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).

WildCat Ridge Sanctuary in Oregon
“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”
WildCat Ridge Sanctuary
“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.

Hello everyone! My name is 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.

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.
