Why tigers need

Sanctuaries

  • The exotic pet trade

  • Roadside zoos and traveling shows

  • Breeding for profit and color variations

  • Poor living conditions without proper diets or space 

Once rescued, they cannot be released into the wild, making sanctuaries like EARS a permanent and essential safe haven.

About Our Residents

It takes significant resources to care for tigers:

  • Each adult tiger eats 10–15 pounds of meat daily

  • Secure, enriched habitats must be maintained year-round

  • Veterinary care for large carnivores is specialized and costly

  • Enrichment is needed to stimulate natural behaviors and reduce stress

  • Your support allows us to meet these needs every single day.

About Tigers

Tigers live in forests, grasslands, and wetlands across parts of Asia, including India, Russia, and Indonesia. They need large territories with plenty of space to hunt, find water, and raise their young.

Tigers are carnivores, meaning they eat meat. In the wild, they hunt animals like deer and wild pigs. They are stealth hunters, using their stripes to blend into tall grass and shadows. Tigers move slowly and quietly before making a powerful leap to catch their prey. Most hunting happens at night or at dusk when it’s easier to stay hidden.

Unlike most cats, tigers love water and are strong swimmers. They often cool off in rivers and lakes and may swim long distances.

Tiger cubs are born small and helpless and stay with their mother for about two years. During this time, she teaches them how to hunt and survive.

Today, tigers face many challenges in the wild, including habitat loss and poaching. That’s why wildlife sanctuaries play an important role in caring for tigers that cannot safely return to the wild.

A Future Worth Protecting

At EARS, every tiger is more than a resident — they’re part of our extended family. With your help, we can ensure that Delilah, Bowdie, Tamari, Asia, Malaya, Liberty, Oden, Stripes, Maximus, and Molly live out their lives in safety, comfort, and dignity.
