Crown Ridge Tiger Sanctuary is a USDA approved big cat rescue funded through a 501(c) 3 Foundation. Our mission is to provide a permanent home for exotic cats that have endured neglect, abuse, or other undesirable homes. We strive to provide these cats with a healthy lifestyle by providing the best vet care, diets, and enrichment activities possible. We also educate people on the importance of habitat conservation and wildlife preservation, and we stress the endangerments these cats face not only in the wild but also in captivity. We encourage teachers and students to participate in our “Living Classroom" program.

We currently have on display a family of 5 tigers and 1 lioness. On a guided tour around the perimeter of the enclosures, students will have the unique opportunity to see our animals from just 5 feet away behind a double-fencing system. Following the tour and education activity, groups will have the chance to go on our observation deck for more picture opportunities.

We offer a specialized education program for teachers and students that teach the importance of wildlife preservation, natural history of tigers and lions, and show how one person can really make a difference. We have a variety of materials to present including a power point presentation, replica bones/claws, actual whiskers, a tiger pelt, and other items that students can examine for themselves. . With activities uniquely designed for the age group in attendance, the students are able to learn new things in interesting ways. The students will take away a better understanding of the tiger species, habitat and wildlife preservation, and how they can help protect the future of our animals.
