Tigers in Tennessee October 31, 2007

Filed under: Travel — Ivy Schnepp @ 9:16 pm

Earlier this year, I spent three weeks in Memphis, Tennessee. I saw Graceland. I visited Beale Street. I went to the casinos in Tunica. One place I did not know about, but I wish I had, is the Tiger Haven in Kingston, TN.

Just thirty miles west of Knoxville, the Tiger Haven is home to 275 Big Cats. The Haven is not a zoo and it is not open to the public but it is a sanctuary to a plethora of cats, ranging from circus retirees to rescued exotic cats.

The website provides a lot of information and photos. For $53 a year, you can adopt a cat of your choice. Included with the Adoption Package, once you select the cat you want to sponsor , you get a 8×10 photo of the cat and the biography of the cat.

I have already asked for the Adoption Package for Christmas, which my husband mistakenly thought meant I wanted another animal. “I just bought you a Yorkie.”

Visit www.tigerhaven.com to view the incredible facility and the Big Cats.
