Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge 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.
