I mention this place from time to time but just wanted to

bring it up again.
Tiger World in Rockwell, NC is a non profit organization zoo that takes in big cats and other animals from all over the world. Theses animals are rescues from individuals or transfers from defunct zoos and shows.
They have some really beautiful cats. There are even some extremely rare crossbred species that they are not allowed to advertise. For you Napolean Dynamite fans they actually do have a Liger.
If you ever have the opportunity to go there, I would encourage it. You can get much closer to the animals than at the Columbia Zoo.
They need support so I would like to encourage Amazon customers to sign up for Amazon Smile and designate Tiger World as a beneficiary.
The next Tiger they get in will have a "naming" fundraiser, pitting Tiger mascot schools against each other for the right to name the new Tiger. It will be Auburn, LSU, Clemson, Missouri and Princeton going against each other for the monicker to be given. So be on the lookout for that.
