Did you know that National Tiger Sanctuary is currently home to 28 big cats, 11 dogs, 8 cats, 2 ring-tailed lemurs and an ever-changing population of rehab animals? Right now, that brings us to a total of 52 animals in our care! Although we are only required to have one veterinarian check per year, we have our vet out more frequently to look at the animals, give vaccinations, and provide any other necessary care. On our most recent vet visit our team was tasked with trimming the nails on our Great Pyrenees, Kai. Kai isn't a fan of someone touching his feet so Dr. Talbot hoisted him in the air to help him relax - no easy feat as Kai comes in at 126 lbs! Not only did the nail trim go smoothly, but all the other animals checked out well too. 

Our first Tigers By Twilight for the year will take place on Friday, May 13, 2016 at 9:00 pm. This unique evening tour gives you a totally different perspective of big cats as they stalk by the light of the moon! For those of you that do not have tiger vision, don't forget to bring a low light flashlight! Please call 417-587-3633 ex. 0 for reservations as availability is limited.

Adults $40  -  Seniors (55+) $35  -  Children (3-12) $20

Tigger was one of six cubs confiscated by US Fish and Wildlife Service when the owner of a pseudo-sanctuary tried to sell them into Mexico. After being confiscated, Tigger temporarily resided at a Texas zoo before coming to NTS in 2012. He is very adventurous and enjoys chasing anything that moves fast - whether it's a vehicle, person, or dog! 

You can adopt Tigger online or over the phone. As a thank you, we will send you an NTS t-shirt, window decal, adoption certificate, and photo of Tigger!
