Tiger Haven is a forever sanctuary for Great Cats rescued from human cruelty, abuse, and thoughtless humans.
The 286 big cats who come here for sanctuary are given a permanent home. They are not sold, or given away and Tiger Haven does not breed the cats or make them work for a living. The cats here enjoy the good life, and they deserve it. Tiger Haven is situated on 60 acres of wooded property. Enclosures fill up about forty five acres. A perimeter fence surrounds all the enclosures and living quarters, and a roadway runs between enclosures and around the perimeter fence to facilitate feeding, maintenance and security checks. The Tiger Haven facility meets or exceeds regulations set forth by the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency, which are among the most stringent in the nation. The enclosures are designed for the cats that will live in them. Tigers and lions have room to run and climbing cats have places to climb. Enclosures for any cats other than lions and tigers have tops on them to prevent the cats from climbing out. All enclosures have sun decks and dens. Dens are enclosed in the winter for warmth. We have a large inground pool for the tigers to rotate through in the summer, since tigers enjoy swimming. All the cats here enjoy peace and quiet without any public viewing.
