Collection: Detroit

Rescue Story: On March 23, 2006, Turpentine Creek received a plea for help from Lightning Ranch Wildlife Preserve, in Auburn, Kansas. Their county had passed a ban on exotic animal ownership and the allotted time to relocate their animals was fast approaching. Detroit was being housed  in a barn at the Lightening Ranch while awaiting his relocation. He was rescued along with two other tigers, Styx and Bombay, who were being held in a defunct breeding facility just north of Salina, Kansas. Detroit made the trip without any issues and adjusted well to his new  surroundings at TCWR. 

More about Detroit: Detroit is always happy to play with his boomer ball and barrel toys, enjoys his pool in the warmer months and will greet his keepers with a friendly chuff! He now spends his days in Rescue Ridge which is a private area and retirement community for our older animals.
