Turpentine Creek Wildlife Rescue is a no-kill facility committed to rescuing abused, abandoned, and unwanted exotic cats. Since 1992, we have rescued more than 200 exotic animals, giving them a caring, lifelong home at the Refuge. These magnificent creatures are the unfortunate, unwanted products of the private trade in exotic animals. Most of them would have been destroyed if we were not able to give them a home.
