Want some exciting news? Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge, a sanctuary located in Eureka Springs, recently welcomed a 6-month-old tiger to their facility.
The new cub, named Fred, is described as “energetic and playful” with a natural zest for life. While details about his background haven’t been provided, his arrival marks the first rescue operation at Turpentine Creek since President Joe Biden signed the Big Cat Public Safety Act into law in December 2022. The act makes it illegal to privately own big cats, although current owners have until June 20 to register their animals with the authorities.
