At Tiger Creek, our mission is simple yet profound:

to provide a safe and secure environment for animals in need of rescue or rehabilitation while conserving endangered and threatened species.

 

 

Founded in 1995, Tiger Creek is more than just a sanctuary; it's a haven for endangered species, native wildlife in need of rehabilitation and passionate individuals dedicated to their well-being. Nestled in the heart of East Texas, our sanctuary spans acres of lush, natural habitat meticulously designed to replicate the native environment and species-specific needs of each resident.

Conservation 

Our passion for big cat conservation is unending. We continue to partner with fellow conservationists & distinguished facilities to help protect and save this endangered species.

 

Since the beginning, we have pursued further research and collaborations with institutions like Texas A&M, the National Institutes of Health, and global research stations. Our services have now expanded to benefit all animals, embodying our commitment to Saving Animals One by One.
