Carolina Tiger Rescue


First, look how handsome this guy is! ; )



Carolina Tiger Rescue is a non-profit wildlife sanctuary in NC. Our office went on a private tour there. We heard about it because Adam installed a system for a guy that works there. He was super cool and told use all about it. So one sunday we all drove out th
ere. North Carolina is suprisingly hot and this particular sunday was especially hot. As we walked around I'm pretty sure we had heat stroke or heat exhaustion--similar to our time at the Houston zoo. (I can't really remember anything about that zoo except that it was ridiculously hot). But at this Tiger Rescue there were many tigers and different kinds of "cats". They were really close to us, although we weren't allowed to touch them--which I thought was lame. Most of the Tigers and other animals there was rescused from people (mostly oil tycoons in Texas) that thought it would be cool to have a Tiger as a pet...they learned quickly that a Tiger should not be a house pet. Overall, it was pretty cool to see tigers so close...and one of them even ate baby food out of a baby jar!
