Photowild Sessions
– Bring your camera and go on a photo safari!
Chose from several trained cats to go into the wild and photograph the cats
from as close as three feet! The beautiful Ozark Mountains offer perfect
scenery for photographing big cats. We offer tigers and cougars. We take the
cats to nearby streams, ponds, rivers, and lakes. Also, we offer gorgeous
bluffs for the cats to pose on. For more information

| Volunteers | |
 |
Volunteers – Turpentine Creek depends on its volunteers to achieve the high standard of living for the cats they deserve. Every day each cage is cleaned spotless and every animal must be fed and watered. This takes countless hours. On top of the daily animal care is a mound of other task that must be done. This list is endless and requires your help. If you wish to become a volunteer please contact Emily McCormack at Emily@turpentinecreek.org or call 479-253-5841. |

Turpentine Creek is one of the very few USDA licensed facilities
for large carnivores in the U.S. We rescue neglected or unwanted "Big Cats"
and provide them with a safe home in a caring environment. We are constantly
building new habitats and shelters for our growing population of Lions,
Tigers, and other exotics on our 450 acre ranch. Each one of our "Big Cats"
has its own story.
So...come let us share the beauty of our ever-growing family of animal friends with you and your family. |
